== History == Kenneth W. Lowe (then a radio executive with the E. W. Scripps Company and later the chief executive officer of Scripps Networks Interactive) had the idea for HGTV in 1992. With financial support from the E.W. Scripps corporate board, he purchased CineTel, a small video production company in Knoxville, as the base and production hub of the new network. Lowe co-founded the channel with Susan Packard.
