Basil & Salt Lifestyle Studios, founded by publisher and producer Karie Engels, has announced a major partnership with G1NBC Food Network, expanding Basil & Salt’s original culinary, travel, and lifestyle programming across one of the country’s fastest-growing broadcast networks.
As part of this partnership, Basil & Salt Lifestyle Studios will join the G1NBC network family, with future production and collaboration taking place within G1NBC’s new broadcast campus, to be designed and launched in 2026 in the Greater Seattle Area.
Strategic Airing Framework
The partnership includes a release structure designed to amplify visibility and longevity for every Basil & Salt series:
- If a series premieres on G1NBC first, Season One will later air on the Basil & Salt Lifestyle Network as G1NBC launches Season Two.
- If a series premieres on Basil & Salt first, Season One will later run on G1NBC as Season Two premieres on Basil & Salt.
This dual-platform structure ensures each season receives two full airings across two major networks, significantly expanding reach for creators, sponsors, and audiences.
“Joining the G1NBC network and aligning our future productions with the new Seattle area broadcast campus opens extraordinary opportunities for Basil & Salt,” said Karie Engels, founder of Basil & Salt Lifestyle Studios. “This partnership strengthens our ability to bring warm, real, approachable culinary and lifestyle content to a larger viewership.”
G1NBC’s New Seattle-Area Broadcast Campus
G1NBC has announced plans to design and launch a multi-level broadcast campus in the Greater Seattle Area in 2026, reflecting the network’s commitment to innovation, expansion, and community-connected broadcasting.
The new facility will include:
- A full broadcast studio
- Executive apartments for visiting corporate members and network leadership
- A professionally equipped studio kitchen for culinary segments, hosted shows, and instructional programming
- A public-facing bistro/café, designed to complement G1NBC’s ethos of accessibility and community engagement
- Sound stages supporting multi-show production
This campus will become a central hub for G1NBC’s West Coast operations and a key location for upcoming Basil & Salt series as part of the network’s ongoing expansion.
