Gusto Readies New Studio Series CombiNATION Plates

Preproduction has begun on a new studio-based series from Gusto Worldwide Media, CombiNATION Plates.

The series is commissioned by Bell Media for its CTV Life Channel (formerly Gusto TV) and will subsequently air on all Gusto TV channels in the U.S., LatAm, AsiaPac and the U.K. In each episode of CombiNATION Plates, savvy and dynamic chef-host Bianca Osbourne is aided by unique visual storytelling to show viewers how two distinctly different food cultures can be combined into a new culinary creation.

The show will be shot in Gusto’s state-of-the-art secure production facility, beginning June 16 in Ottawa.

“We hit the ground running the moment Premier Ford gave the green light,” said Chris Knight, president and CEO of Gusto Worldwide Media. “We’ve had the studio on lock-down for nine weeks and have implemented extensive health and safety protocols. This is a single purpose studio, so nobody in or out without an invite. We’re looking forward to creating more exceptional content in the new normal.”
