Its programming covers topics including food and wine, home and garden, real estate, shopping, leisure, travel and real life drama.[2]

Lifestyle has three subsidiary channels: Lifestyle Food, a channel dedicated to food and cooking, Lifestyle Home which is dedicated to DIY and garden advice, and Fox Arena which is dedicated to reality television and pop culture programming.[3] Lifestyle also broadcasts other programs ranging from food, wine, home design, gardening, leisure, travel, and real life drama[4]
