HGTV’s current Canadian profile is published by Rogers Sports & Media and lists Canadian originals alongside international home programs. Separately, Corus’ historical announcement maps its former HGTV Canada channel position to Home Network. A saved Canadian HGTV reference therefore needs its publication date and broadcaster context.
For a current Canadian production, start with Rogers’ channel and program information rather than assuming an old US or Canadian guide describes the same present arrangement.

Canadian productions have their own identity
The current HGTV profile lists Home Town Takeover Canada, Sarah Baeumler by Design and other separately titled projects. The 2026–27 announcement also describes Bryan and Sarah Baeumler’s role in the Canadian Home Town production.
Keep Canada in a franchise title when it is present. A related US production can share a format without being the same series, location or set of participants. The national edition is useful identifying information, not an optional keyword to drop when comparing program pages.
A production announcement is not an invented local schedule
The 2026 slate describes projects and, in some cases, production plans. If a publication says a location or broadcast detail will be announced later, that missing information should remain missing until a newer source supplies it.
Use the announcement to identify the production, hosts and intended channel. Use a current episode or schedule listing for a particular showing. This keeps a newly announced Canadian project from being confused with an already available installment of a similarly named franchise.
Home Network explains an older channel-position reference
Corus’ transition announcement identifies Home Network as the replacement for its former HGTV Canada position. That history can explain why an old provider reference now displays a different name. It does not make today’s Rogers HGTV and Home Network interchangeable catalogs.
The current Rogers profile names provider and Citytv+ routes for HGTV. Preserve the product and title when following that information. If a program is currently associated with Home Network instead, use that actual listing rather than relocating it solely because it once appeared under an HGTV label.
Useful answers
Is Home Network simply another current label for Rogers’ HGTV?
No. Corus’ historical transition and Rogers’ current HGTV profile describe distinct current references. Use the date, broadcaster and actual program listing.
Why keep Canada in Home Town Takeover Canada?
It identifies a distinct national production. A related US franchise page does not supply the Canadian series’ participants, location or current showing.
