(January, 11, 2010, Irving, TX)
The first of three television series in production at Dallas area Fusion Productions hit the national air waves last week. Hot on the Trail with Sunny Savage debuted on the Veria TV network on Verizon FIOS channel 162 and Dish Network channel 218.
"We know of no other television program anywhere that is like Hot on the Trail with Sunny Savage. We have created a truly unique show in a crowded marketplace of look-a-like programs," said Nathan Todd Sims, producer of Hot on the Trail with Sunny Savage and president/CEO of Fusion Productions.
Hot on the Trail with Sunny Savage is hosted by wild food expert Sunny Savage. Each episode follows Sunny across the United States as she seeks out wild plants with which she makes adventurous wild food dishes, prepared on location in their natural surroundings. From cactus in Texas to wild mushrooms in the majestic mountain forests of Washington State, from stinging wood nettles and kudzu in the Carolinas to Cattails in Minnesota and dandelions in Maine, delicious dishes are created from plants most people consider to be just weeds! Other featured plants include acorns, wild mustard greens, wild sumac, rose (hip), elderberry, milkweed, and many more.
Multiple episodes of Hot on the Trail with Sunny Savage will air throughout the week including in the coveted 8pm (Eastern) Thursday night time slot!
Hot on the Trail with Sunny Savage is Fusion Productions' first national TV series. Fusion is also in production of 26 episodes of Fun to Grow On, a fun filled activity show for parents to help keep young children active, and 26 episodes of Labor of Love, a tender look at the lives of modern midwives and women who choose to give birth outside the contemporary medical establishment. Fun to Grow On is scheduled to begin airing in March. Labor of Love is expected to begin airing this summer.
