PBS Create vs PBS Living
PBS Create is often mistaken for another lifestyle-focused TV network known as PBS Living. While their names and themes are very similar, there are a few key differences between the two:
- PBS Living seems to be more health/nutrition/fitness oriented with some spirituality/self-help mixed in in addition to food/cooking programs. Create Zone mostly includes cooking, home renovation, and gardening in its primary focus.
- PBS Living is primarily focused on instructional lifestyle programs for the health of the mind and body. PBS Create for instance has more diverse programs including travel shows and science documentaries among others in the blend.
- Yoga, meditation, and general wellness are the most dominant genres on PBS Living’s program guide. PBS Create is mainly concerned with food, houses and gardening in particular.
Thus, PBS Living is all about people and their health, while PBS Create is all about home and the hearth and kitchen. In Dish Network, PBS Living is available on digital 374 and standard 374 also.
Additional PBS Create Viewing Options
In addition to its home on channel 379/9379 of Dish Network, PBS Create has several alternative viewing options:
