The American Food Network is a cable and television channel that operates worldwide. The viewers of these programs have been steadily growing since the beginning of this program and by 2015 there were about 96 million views.

These competitive programs had managed to amerce large viewers including men who were represented by very few of their kind. This has been due to the fact that they introduced documentaries on the culinary arts and reality shows that showcase foods and cooking. Owing to this, the management opted to increase the number of such programs.
