MAKING HISTORY
Launched in 2004 as THE INDIE FOOD CHANNEL, a year before YouTube and the video iPod existed, TasteTV was the very first multi-platform network in operation to deliver food and lifestyle broadcasts. TasteTV also created and pioneered the concept of niche and customized television channels supporting individual content contributors in a multi-platform environment.
We pride our team on the accuracy of its ongoing business vision and strategic forecasting abilities, which are key to TasteTV’s record of success.
TasteTV programming highlights the quality and diversity of content that viewers crave in these days of digital, mobile and satellite TV. Vetted by film makers, editors, chefs and regular show audiences, each TasteTV program brings a combination of consistency, surprise, humor, adventure and titillation to one of broadcasting’s most watched genres. It also gives selected cooking shows, short films and documentaries both the widespread visibility and viewership they deserve.
