“What happened to Style network?” will be the question of the evening when Esquire Network officially takes over the the 15-year-old network on Monday, Sept. 23 at 9pm ET with the premiere of Esquire’s 80th. Still in question is whether new episodes of Giuliana & Bill, Jerseylicious, Big Rich Texas and Tia & Tamera will find a home on any of NBCU’s other networks. Some of the shows are expected to simply end their run, while a few will most likely be worked into schedules on E!, Bravo or Oxygen.
UPDATE: Style Network TV to relaunch in Fall 2014! See feature.
E! did confirm plans of airing the most recent seasons of Giuliana & Bill and Tia & Tamera starting in October. E! will begin re-airing Season 3 episodes of Tia & Tamera and already aired episodes of Giuliana & Bill’s sixth season on Tuesday nights starting Oct. 15 at 9pm ET, as well as new episodes of Giuliana & Bill next year. Season 3 of Tia & Tamera actually ended on Style Sunday, Sept. 22, and it’s unknown whether the series will see a fourth season. Oxygen will also be airing a 10-episode marathon of Season 3 of Tia & Tamera beginning Thursday, Sept. 26 at noon ET.
Syndicated series on Style, like Sex and the City, which originally ran on weekends, are interspersed heavily throughout the Esquire schedule, helping fill early morning, late-night and weekend time slots for the new net. Sex and the City, however, is littered all over the NBCU nets — you can catch it on E!, Oxygen and Bravo.
Clean House, which aired for nine seasons on Style, will also show up on Esquire — at least for the first week — filling the Wednesday, Sept. 25 morning block from 6am to 3pm ET.
At launch, Esquire had several original series including Knife Fight, Brew Dogs, Boundless and The Getaway. Similar to Style, Esquire will also help fill its programming schedule with blockbuster movies. The first few weeks, viewers of Esquire can expect titles like Ocean’s Thirteen, Casino Royale, Ghost Rider and Stripes, as well as popular series from Bravo like Million Dollar Listing, Chef Roble and Top Chef, and USA Network series like Psych and Burn Notice.
We will update you with further details on other former Style series as they are announced.
Tia & Tamara I am pissed
omg im so frustrated with this change ive been watching jerseylicious since it started as well as big rich texas what are they going todo and what channels will we be able to watch our shows are we able to watch them online ?
I also have watched all of styles shows from the beginning. Especially Jerseylicious & big rich Texas. Style network is or was my favorite channel! So I’m taking this rather hard to say the least!!! I’m infuriated!!!
Really stinks that Style is gone! Where are the shows??? I cannot find any of them!!! Grrrr Esquire is horrible!!!
Hey – I’m a Jersey Girl. What the hell did you do with Jerseylicious? I have NO interest in what Esquire is offering and my husband doesn’t watch TV.
where the heck is my jerseylicious and Whitney’s having a baby?
Where the hell is jerseylicous I’m pissed I have been watching forever for the next season.
Where is Jerseylicious? I have been waiting and waiting for the new season.
I hate this channel. Because it have a lot of crazy pictures showing on it. I can’t watch my favorite picture because this channel take over. Please bring back style. I miss Tia and Tamara. I want to see how Arian growing it. I miss Tamara and her family most of all. Please listen to your viewer. We are the ones who make you the success u are.
Mens channel?? My husband has NO interest in anything they have to offer! I just asked him if there was anything he would watch on Esq and he laughed! SO… theres your answer Esq!!!!! Ladies, we need to boycott!
There is NO WAY my husband will watch the “Esquire” channel, nor will I. Yes, Boycott it is. Wonder what the Jerseylicious cast has to say about this?
Also, why aren’t the powers-that be get Jerseylicious on another network? Ratings would go up for sure.
“Are they freaking kidding me?!?!” Says this Jersey Girl who could not wait to see season 6 of Jerseylicious tonight!
Shame on you, Esquire. Women do the watching, women do the buying and you are missing out on a Jerseylicious audience who would help your channel and ratings. Shame, shame on you.
Esquire channel sucks. if they wanted their own channel why not just get one. We want style back. its one of my top choices on cable UHHHH!
I loved style network. I watched alot of shows on style and was looking forward to watching this season. I am very sad about this.I want to know why style is no longer on air?
WHERE IS JERSEYLICIOUS???? what channel? ??
MAYBE: Maybe some other network is in negotiations for the aborted Style Network Shows. Participant salaries might be a big consideration in negotiations taking a lot of coordination while they are over the barrel. Maybe.
Where is Jerseylicious???? I’m so upset about this..
Where’s JERSEYLICIOUS??????!!!!!
I am not happy about Esquire replacing Style network!!!! I couldn’t wait for season 6 Jerseylicious to air and now it’s replaced!!!! soooo not happy about this change, Bring back style network!!! or air the show on another channel like E, oxygen or something else!!!!
i will not watch esquire at all unless they bring back jerseylicious and big rich texas was looking foward to seeing season premieres for 6 months and they pull it off dish network i am PISSED OFF royally.
I will NEVER watch esq-stupid!!! Major fail! How many men r up at 9pm,10pm, etc???
Off Dish and off Direct. The Style Network is no more. Esq. sooo unnecessary. Hang in there. Seems like someone from Jerseylicious and BigTexas would make a public statement.
Where can we watch our favorite shows that were on style network? I agree with all of the above! Why??????????????????? Makes me so mad!!!!! I will never watch esquire network unless you bring back the shows that I watched on style! So wrong on all levels!!
Style channel was one of my favorites and now it’s gone like other good programming
