Entersong Entertainment And The Heartland Network Announce Joint Venture

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 18, 2026) — Entersong Entertainment, the live event and entertainment company co-founded by award-winning songwriter Rob Hatch and Mike Every, has entered into a strategic partnership with The Heartland Network—an 88 million household network under the umbrella of leading media group Get After It Media (GAIM), a multi-platform broadcast and streaming company delivering premium content across five national television networks and digital platforms.

The partnership marks Entersong Entertainment’s first venture into original broadcast and streaming content and will focus on the development and production of original music-focused programming scheduled to begin filming later this year. Since its launch in 2022, Entersong Entertainment has built a reputation for creating unique experiences that connect audiences with the music they love and the creators behind it. The company is best known for producing the Las Vegas Songwriters Festival, which debuted as the largest gathering of songwriters in Las Vegas history. Through its live events and industry relationships, Entersong has become a respected platform for celebrating the craft of songwriting and the stories behind the songs.

“Every great song starts with a story. I’ve learned that people like knowing more about a song than just what they hear on the radio or on a finished album. They appreciate hearing about the creative sparks behind their favorite songs and music. This partnership with The Heartland Network gives us an opportunity to pull back the curtain in a fresh way and share those special stories,” says Hatch.

“We’ve spent years building relationships with some of the most talented creators in music, and this gives us a new canvas to showcase their stories. The goal isn’t just to make another music show—it’s to create experiences audiences can’t find anywhere else,” says Every.

“What excites me most about this partnership is the chance to rethink how music stories are told and experienced,” says Every. “By combining Entersong’s relationships and creative vision with Heartland’s incredible reach, we’re creating a space where artists, songwriters and fans can connect in ways that feel meaningful. The most exciting ideas happen when great people, great stories, and great platforms come together. That’s exactly what this partnership is to us.”

“This partnership is rooted in years of relationships built on trust, mutual respect and a shared belief in the power of great storytelling,” says Alan Kates, VP of Strategy, The Heartland Network/Get After It Media. “I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working alongside Rob, Mike and many of the artists on the Entersong roster for many years, and what stands out most is their unwavering commitment to art and excellence. This melds naturally with what Joel Wertman has built at The Heartland Network. Joel is a leader in TV and a leader in the music space going back many years; he immediately saw the long-term vision. I couldn’t be more thrilled.”

“When Alan brought this idea to me, it was an instant, ‘yes’ to concept, talent and team. As we continue investing in original programming that resonates with audiences across broadcast and streaming, this fits right in the creative pocket,” says Joel Wertman, CEO of Get After It Media. “We’re looking forward to the creative process and giving viewers unprecedented access to the artists, songwriters and stories that shape the soundtrack of their lives.”

The Entersong Entertainment venture adds to The Heartland Network’s already established original content lineup which includes Keith Stegall’s High Dollar Hill, Barbecue Country and The Chuck Wicks Show— heavily spotlighting creators and the songs and stories audiences are asking for.
