KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Television executive Judy Girard, who led the Food Network to prominence, announced Monday she will retire as president of sister cable network HGTV.
"I am looking forward to spending more time with my husband and enjoying some of the lifestyle pursuits our networks have helped popularize," said Girard, who will step down by year's end.
Girard, 61, worked for Lifetime and Americast, a Disney joint venture, before joining Knoxville-based Scripps Networks in 1998, first as general manager, then as president of the acquired Food Network.
