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.
