Style Network (known on air as Style) was an Australian pay television channel that owned by Universal Networks International. It was a domestic version of the American Style Network (which it outlasted by six years after that network was converted to the short-lived men's interest Esquire Network), and much like its American counterpart it featured fashion, design, and programming for women.{{cite web|url=http://www.mcn.com.au/channels/Detail.aspx?IdDataSource=53|title=The Style Network - MCN|access-date=5 August 2015}}
It was available through the Foxtel and FetchTV platforms.{{cite web|url=http://www.fetchtv.com.au/press-release/fetch-tv-unveils-new-and-improved-entertainment-pack|title=Fetch TV unveils new and improved Entertainment Pack|publisher=FetchTV|access-date=5 August 2015|date=8 December 2014}} In 2014, it became available on Australian streaming service Foxtel Play.{{cite web|publisher=TV Tonight|first=David|last=Knox|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2014/09/e-13th-street-and-style-join-foxtel-play.html|title=E!, 13th Street and Style join Foxtel Play|date=17 September 2014|access-date=17 July 2015}}
History
Style was launched on the Foxtel and Austar platforms on 15 November 2009.{{cite web|publisher=TV Tonight|first=David|last=Knox|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2009/10/style-network-november-highlights.html|title=Style Network: November highlights|date=14 October 2009|access-date=5 August 2015}}{{cite web|publisher=TV Tonight|first=David|last=Knox|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2009/09/mystar-hd-launching-november-15.html|title=MyStar HD launching November 15|date=29 September 2009|access-date=5 August 2015}} The channel shut down on 17 December 2019 without notice, after Foxtel changed around their lineup and NBCUniversal decided to consolidate domestic programming operations onto fewer networks, also ending the operations of 13th Street and Syfy at the end of 2019.
