OTTAWA, ONTARIO June 12, 2019 – Gusto Worldwide Media announced today that Gusto TV has launched on TV Plus, a digital entertainment app offered on Samsung televisions in the US. Gusto TV is now available as a subscription free linear channel for hungry viewers who own a Samsung smart TV. This will be the sixth US-based digital platform that Gusto TV has launched on within the last year.
TV Plus offers a variety of entertaining channels and movies through its convenient app available on 2016 to 2019 Samsung models. Viewers will soon be able to stream hours of Gusto TV’s original food programming. Recently, Gusto TV launched on several US OTT platforms, including STIRR, Pluto TV, XUMO, DistroTV and VEMOX.
“Gusto TV is becoming a US streaming disrupter. This is our first smart tv deal and we’re launching with the largest producer of televisions in North America,” said Chris Knight, President and CEO of Gusto Worldwide Media. “This is an exciting new way to bring Gusto content to the consumer.”
Later this month, Chris will be a featured speaker at NATPE Budapest International on the panel All the World’s a Stream, where he will be discussing the challenges and opportunities that Gusto TV has faced with their recent digital platform launches.
