The Nashville Network
The Nashville Network, usually referred to as TNN, was an American country music-oriented cable television network. Programming included music videos, taped concerts, movies, game shows, syndicated programs, and numerous talk shows. On September 25, 2000, after an attempt to attract younger viewers failed, TNN's country music format was changed and the network was renamed The National Network, eventually becoming Spike TV in 2003.
In 2012, the network was revived as a digital broadcast television network on November 1, 2012. The revival of The Nashville Network took on the name Heartland on October 9, 2013.
History
Beginnings
The Nashville Network was originally launched as a basic cable and satellite television network on March 7, 1983, operating from the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park near Nashville, Tennessee. Country Music Television (CMT), founded by Glenn D. Daniels, beat TNN's launch by two days, robbing TNN of the claim of being the "first country music cable television network".
Heartland (TV network)
Heartland is an American country music-oriented digital broadcast television network that is owned by Luken Communications. Launched on April 16, 2012, the network began in 2012 as a revival of The Nashville Network (TNN) that existed as a basic cable and satellite television network from March 7, 1983 to September 24, 2000.
The revival of The Nashville Network took on the name "Heartland" on October 9, 2013. The termination of the license agreement between Luken Communications and Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc. for the trademark was approved by the bankruptcy court on October 31, 2013.
History
On April 16, 2012, it was announced that Luken Communications and Jim Owens Entertainment would relaunch The Nashville Network as a digital broadcast television network on November 1, 2012. Jim Owens Entertainment, producers of the Crook & Chase television program and the Crook & Chase Top 40 Countdown radio show (among other programs), acquired The Nashville Network trademark and logo.
