Country music and lifestyle diginet The Heartland Network is now available in the Salt Lake City market over-the-air on Faith Broadcasting Network’s KPNZ’s ch. 24.6.

Currently reaching 54 million households in 57 markets, Heartland brings a mix of original programming, syndicated and first-run shows, and digitally restored vintage content from the vaults of Music Row. Programs include Music City Tonight, Bluegrass Ridge, Country Line TV, Nashville Insider, Country Music Rewind, Paula Deen’s Positively Paula, Chasing Down Madison Brown and Small Town Big Deal along with several popular music video blocks.

In addition, Heartland takes viewers behind-the-scenes of various country music events with live specials and coverage on original series Heartland Backstage, More Than the Music, and Heartbeats. Events have included Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountains Rise fundraiser, Blake Shelton’s Ole Red announcement, Pilgrimage, Nashville’s Christmas 4 Kids, and the annual Country Radio Seminar, to name a few.

“It’s a thrill to have Heartland in Salt Lake City,” says Joel Wertman, president of The Heartland Network. “We know the audience here is the perfect fit and will quickly become fans of our strong country music programming that is complemented by the lifestyle and outdoor shows. KNPZ is a great partner to have, and we are excited for the opportunity to expand Heartland’s reach in a new market with a full powered station.”
