Scripps Network pulls Food Network & HGTV out of the Cablevision Channel Lineup.

UPDATE: As of January 21st, 2010, Food Network and HGTV have returned to the Cablevision Channel Lineup! On December 31st, 2009, Scripps Networks removed their two channels, Food Network and HGTV, off of the Cablevision Channel Lineup.
