Style Network (broadcast as Style) was an Australian subscription television channel owned by Universal Networks International. It served as the regional adaptation of the U.S.-based Style Network, concentrating on content related to fashion, interior design, and programming targeted at women. Notably, this channel remained operational six years beyond the closure of its American equivalent, which was replaced by the short-lived Esquire Network.
The channel was accessible through Foxtel and FetchTV services and later became available on the Australian streaming platform Foxtel Play in 2014.
History
Style commenced broadcasting on 15 November 2009 via Foxtel and Austar platforms. The channel was discontinued suddenly on 17 December 2019 following Foxtel’s schedule overhaul and NBCUniversal’s consolidation of its domestic channels, resulting in the shutdown of Style alongside its sister networks 13th Street and Syfy.
