TVO Greenlights More Taste Buds

TORONTO: Canadian producer marblemedia has secured a second-season commission from TVO for the kids’ cooking series Taste Buds, whose hosts are in Las Vegas today to take part in the Celebrity Chef Kitchen event on the NATPE floor.

The second season, with production on 13 new episodes beginning in the spring, continues to encourage kids 6 to 10 to take part in the entire process of preparing meals, from the shopping to the cleaning up. New episodes are slated to launch in the fall on TVO, Access Alberta, Knowledge Network and Saskatchewan Communications Network. The series is distributed by E1 Television International (formerly Oasis International), which is at NATPE today with show hosts Avery, Lily and Matt. As part of the Celebrity Chef Kitchen, the hosts will perform a live cooking demonstration on the NATPE floor this morning.
