Gusto TV Revokes Russian Deal

Gusto TV has declined its pending content agreement with Russian TV company Red Media.

Chris Knight, president and CEO of Gusto Worldwide Media, said, “Gusto TV and its content are seen in over 160 countries, including Russia. In light of recent events, we are canceling our deal with Red Media. We are very proud of what we do, but at the end of the day, it’s just television.”

Elsewhere in the world, the company is set to release its new series Up the Dish on March 7. The first half of the series will stream every Monday at 8 p.m. on Gusto TV, with the second half set for release this fall.

In Up the Dish, co-hosts Tiera Singh, Poppy Sandler, Missy Hui and Micah Trainor rework classic recipes. Each episode begins with a traditional version of a dish, followed by a vegan or vegetarian option and a show-stopping five-star dish or delicious dessert.

“Up the Dish introduces Missy, Micah, Poppy and Tiera—four fresh faces and new talent—to the Gusto TV family,” said Keren Jackman, senior producer at Gusto Worldwide Media. “Having this many hosts with different personalities, food backgrounds and expertise was not only a pleasure to produce but even more fun to watch!”
