CMT, Switched On Entertainment Extend Production Agreement

CMT has renewed its production deal with CMT veteran producer John Hamlin’s Switched On Entertainment.

As part of the multi-year production deal, Hamlin will continue to executive produce CMT’s music events including the CMT Music Awards, CMT Artists of the Year, and the long-running, critically-acclaimed, CMT Crossroads, with the option to develop new events and specials.

“John’s critical eye as a producer, deep relationships within the artist community and boundless affection for our brand has elevated our revered music series and specials to new critical and ratings highs,” said Frank Tanki, General Manager of CMT and TV Land. “We are thankful they remain in his capable hands.”

Prior to forming Switched On Entertainment, Hamlin served as CMT’s Senior Vice President of Music Events and Talent, overseeing all live music and event programming, talent booking and label relations for events and series. He is represented by WME.
