CTV Life Channel

CTV Life Channel is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel owned by Bell Media. The channel primarily broadcasts factual and reality programming on lifestyle topics such as cooking, home improvement and real estate, along with scripted drama series.

The channel was originally established in 2013 by Knight Enterprises as the Category B service Gusto TV. In May 2016, Knight licensed Canadian rights to the Gusto brand and associated programming to Bell Media. The company would relaunch the channel on September 1, using a Category A license formerly used by its music and entertainment channel M3 (formerly MuchMoreMusic, which was launched in 1998 by CHUM Limited). As part of a rebranding of several Bell Media-owned specialty channels, the channel rebranded as CTV Life Channel on September 12, 2019. Gusto TV later relaunched independently in Canada in 2022.

CTV Life Channel features fan-favourite lifestyle and DIY programming along with food series to savour. It’s home to series from fan-favourite personalities Jamie Oliver and Donal Skehan as well as lifestyle favourites HOLMES FAMILY RESCUE, LIVING BY DESIGN, COUNTRY HOUSE HUNTERS, and more. CTV Life Channel boasts a robust slate of original Canadian series including MARY MAKES IT EASY, ONE BIG RECIPE, and is the exclusive broadcaster of HOLMES 911. From CTV, Canada’s most-watched network, CTV Life Channel is part of a powerful suite of specialty channels that also includes CTV Drama Channel, CTV Comedy Channel, and CTV Sci-Fi Channel, streaming on demand from CTV.ca and the CTV app.
