When we got the first call that people were being arrested we cried it was like that first glimmer of hope in seven months, it was bittersweet, we cried … I mean it was just so wonderful to hear that something was being done.

These arrests signify that you’re not going to get away with hazing in the state of Virginia.

What we found is once sports went dark, viewers who are just hungry for competition came to us and they weren't our regular food viewers, seeing the battles play out on Food Network scratched an itch there.

I think one of the greatest lessons here has been that we can move quickly and that we can be topical and timely, and as the story and needs around food and restaurants change, that we can change really quickly.

What's really interesting and encouraging and gratifying is that different types of people are coming to us for different reasons, it's been great to feel like our content is more needed than ever out there.
