New Shows Coming From The Cooking Channel?

On August 11th, the Cooking Channel, LLC filed seven federal trademark applications for what appears to be a potential line of new shows. All the applications list services related to a continuing program about food and cooking.

The trademark applications (and possible shows) filed by the Cooking Channel are:

• Big Bad BBQ Battle;
• Big Bad BBQ Brawl (apparently they haven't decided which name to use yet);
• Star Plates;
• Cake Hunters;
• Family Meals;
• Caked; and
• Sugar Showdown.

The Cooking Channel filed all of these applications on an intent-to-use basis, which means they are not using the trademarks in commerce yet but plan to do so soon. Expect to see one or more of these shows on the air within the next year.
