"  Paula Deen is beginning to make her way back into the spotlight with a few TV appearances, a cooking demo, and even her own episode of E! True Hollywood Story set to air next week. As she begins to recover from a scandal that threatened to dethrone the queen of butter completely, one involved party that hasn&amp;#039;t improved is the Food Network. According to Bloomberg, Food Network&amp;#039;s ratings have continued to decline after the channel dropped Paula Deen in late June. Deen&amp;#039;s ratings had fallen prior to the drama, as had the Network&amp;#039;s as a whole, and they continued to drop between June 24th and October 6th. Food Network has lost 6 percent of its audience during prime time hours and 3 percent during the day. They have also declined 13 percent with their target audience of 18 to 49 during prime time and 10.8 percent between the hours of 10am and 4:30pm. Ultimately, it&amp;#039;s tough to say if the issue stems directly from Deen&amp;#039;s firing or other factors, but the Food Network is certainly in a period of transition after firing one of its best known celebs.
