Food Network’s parent company is buying the Food Network for the next generation, Spoon University. The food publication geared towards college students, featuring microwave hacks and first-timer friendly recipes, quickly rose from a Kickstarter campaign of a few thousand dollars in 2013 to a multi-million-dollar company. The brand was already producing content for Food Network’s Snapchat, and they’re hoping the purchase will continue to attract a younger audience and “generat[e] more revenue on emerging digital platforms.” (Reuters)
