Being on television is certainly far more ubiquitous today than it was, say 7-10 short years ago. Times certainly have changed. There was a time when an appearance on the Food Network or the Travel Channel could absolutely change the trajectory of your business. No question. It is still very possible these days, but less likely, simply because of the sheer number of programs out there constantly bombarding us with places to go and foods to eat.

That said, there is still some talent out there that moves the needle. One of them is Show Host Samantha Brown.

Samantha’s career has spanned roughly two decades. She’s traveled the globe several times over in search of places that would appeal to a mainstream audience’s curiosities. There hasn’t been a lot of Bourdain-like introspection. Likewise, there hasn’t been any Fiery-like food porn. Samantha Brown’s lane has been somewhere in between. It’s why she’s been such a force on the travel programming scene for so long. Her appeal, really, is universal.

Last April, Ms. Brown and her production team made their way to Savannah for an episode of her current show, “Places to Love.” It’s part food, part culture, part people. The final product premiered last Sunday night on Georgia Public Television.
