Partnering with Brent and the Wheelhouse team supercharges our mission; Brent\u2019s signature energy and infectious excitement for bold innovation in media and beyond will empower Butternut to fully realize its ambitions to deliver the genre\u2019s very best to audiences and partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wheelhouse CEO Brent Montgomery said, \u201cIt\u2019s thrilling to spot industry leaders at the top of their game and partner up to support them further as visionaries and entrepreneurs. There are very few in our business who know the lifestyle arena as well as Courtney, and who are trusted more by talent. We see Butternut not only as our lifestyle stronghold in content but in other potential businesses, from culinary to consumer products. This is an inspiring collaboration and we\u2019re looking forward to rolling up our sleeves to support Courtney and her creative and business goals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtney White, formerly president of Food Network and general manager of HGTV and Food, has formed a joint venture with Wheelhouse focused on food, home and lifestyle content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":18240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[6261],"class_list":["post-18239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-wheelhouse","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wheelhouse Aligns with Food Network &amp;
