Paramount Network is the American public entertainment and channel channel owned by Viacom Viacom Media Networks division.

This channel was originally established by a partnership between WSM, Inc. and Group W as the The Nashville Network (TNN) and began airing March 7, 1983. It initially served catering programming to Southern United culture. Countries, including country music, variety shows, outdoor programming, and motor racing coverage (such as NASCAR). TNN was purchased by Gaylord Entertainment Company in 1983. After Gaylord bought CMT in 1991, TNN's music program was diverted to CMT, leaving TNN to focus on entertainment and lifestyle programming. In 1995, TNN and CMT were acquired by Westinghouse/CBS, which in turn was acquired by Viacom in 1999.

Under Viacom's ownership, TNN began removing existing programs, which were influenced by the state, supporting more out-of-network networks, movies, and sports entertainment programs targeted to a wider audience. It renamed the National Network in September 2000, to coincide with the premiere of WWF Raw on the channel. At this point, Viacom describes TNN as a public entertainment service, although one appeals to Central America. In August 2003, TNN was relaunched as a Spike TV , which targeted young adult males. In June 2006, Spike was again branded with a more explicit focus on the action genre. In 2010, Spike was again branded with a wider demographic range and an increased focus on the reality series. In 2015, the network re-branded to emphasize gender-balanced series like Lip Sync Battle and return to native script programming.

On January 18, 2018, Spike was re-branded as Paramount Network, which aims to align it with the Paramount Pictures movie studio (which previously lent its name to the now-defunct UPN broadcast television network). The network has been positioned by Viacom as a common "flagship" for the original script series, competing with other basic "premium" cable networks such as AMC and FX. In February 2015 (when still known as Spike), about 93.4 million households in the United States (80% of those with televisions) received Paramount Network.

Histori

Jaringan Nashville (1983-2000)

The Nashville Network was first launched on March 7, 1983; it is dedicated to the culture and lifestyle of country music and South America. It was originally operated as a joint venture of WSM, Inc., a subsidiary of the Life Insurance and National Accident) and the Satellite Communications Group W. TNN operates from the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park near Nashville, Tennessee. Country Music Television (CMT), founded by Glenn D. Daniels, defeated the TNN launch for two days, robbing them of the claim of "the first country music cable television network." TNN's main events include Nashville Now, The Statler Brothers Show, American Sports Cavalcade and Grand Ole Opry Live. Nashville Now and Grand Ole Opry are broadcast live from Opryland USA.

The Gaylord Entertainment Company bought TNN and Opryland properties in the second half of 1987. Most of TNN's programs (except for sports) during the Gaylord era were originally produced by Opryland Productions, also owned by Gaylord Entertainment. From 1983 to 1992, all sports car racing and motor sport TNN was produced by Diamond P Sports. Beginning in 1993, TNN began to have NASCAR coverage produced by World Sports Enterprises, and the coverage of the American Speed ​​Association produced by Group 5 Sports, while Diamond P continues to produce most of the rest of the racing coverage. Programming includes variety shows, talk shows, game shows, outdoor shows (such as hunting and fishing), and lifestyle shows; all centered in several ways around country music or country lifestyles.

Some of TNN's popular air talents include local media figures Nashville Ralph Emery, Dan Miller, Charlie Chase and Lorianne Crook, as well as established stars such as country music singer Bill Anderson and actress Florence Henderson and Dinah Shore. In 1995, TNN was acquired by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which recently acquired CBS at the time; two years later, Westinghouse bought CMT, a major competitor to TNN. In 1998, the channel dropped the "The Nashville Network" moniker and shortened its official name to TNN. Ownership shifted to Viacom in the late 1990s after the acquisition of CBS Corporation, the successor of Westinghouse. The National Network, New TNN and WWE (2000-3) 2003)

In 1999, TNN began to change its program to attract broader demographics, especially younger audiences; taking advantage of RollerJam's success (a series inspired by a roller derby with professional wrestling elements), TNN reached a three-year agreement to broadcast a new Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) program, which will air as a companion to RollerJam on Friday night beginning in late August 1999. Under the contract, ECW also agreed to share the proceeds with TNN for all promotional events (including live and pay-per-view performances) and merchandise. TNN combines these two programs into the Friday night programming block, which also features Motor Madness and Championship Bull Riding . A TNN executive admits that the "extreme sports" program has been the main attraction of the network, and that horseback has attracted the attention of the expanded audience because it sees it as "the real extreme sport".

In November 1999, TNN announced a new program and primetime theme blocs planned for introduction in 2000, including new, Movie Monday-oriented films, Action-Based Girls, Action Wednesday Friday Night Thrill Zone , Classic Country on Saturday night, and Outdoor TNN on Sunday. The new timetable, along with new series such as the action drama 18 Wheels of Justice, a series of college bowling competitions Rockin 'Bowl, reruns of Western anthology Dead Man's Gun , and new promotional campaigns that target younger audiences, intended to introduce a wider audience to the network. The ECW partnership was initially successful, with TNN reporting a 200% increase in young males viewers in the timeslot. Nevertheless, TNN is giving a little promotion to ECW, choosing to focus more on promoting other new programs, such as Rockin 'Bowl and RollerJam .

On September 25, 2000, TNN folded into the MTV Networks division based in New York City, and renamed The National Network. The rebranding process coincides with major changes to network programming, including the flagship network of the flagship program of the World Wrestling Federation RAW Is War , which moved to TNN from the USA Network as part of a new contract with Viacom. Since WWF programs are usually among the highest rated programs of the USA Network, the move is considered a major coup for TNN. MTV Networks chairman Tom Freston described TNN as now a public entertainment service, albeit one with "a sort of middle-American taste" rather than "another network for New York or Los Angeles."

Football also became more prominent in the network, as it began broadcasting the Arena Football League game (AFL) with Eli Gold as a broadcaster. The National Network is also one of three networks to air a bad XFL game (along with NBC and UPN). As part of its contract, TNN has the right to Sunday afternoon matches every week except for the first week, when the UPN airs an afternoon match. TNN aired its first opening game of NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship 2001 as the organizers expanded the field to 65 teams; this is produced by CBS Sports with a CBS broadcaster. Game coverage was moved to ESPN in 2002.

In 2001, TNN added sitcoms and drama comedies such as Diff'rent Strokes , The Magic Year , The Rockford Files , WKRP in Cincinnati , Newhart , Hangin 'With Mr. Cooper, Miami Vice and Taxi . This is also the first channel for air replay MADtv . These measures are not noticed for the most part, due to the lack of popularity of TNN. At this time, all western programming has been cleared of the network; some of The Nashville Network's former programs were picked up by CMT, while other classic TNN shows were picked up by the GAC, including finally the Grand Ole Opry, which was pushed into the CMT and eventually abolished by Viacom after they did not renew the agreement to bring the series.

As time passes, the words "National Network" are underestimated in promotion. By the end of 2002, the channel was known as New TNN and had taken more men-oriented events such as Baywatch , Monster Jam , horseback riding, Robot Wars and Star Trek: The Next Generation . This is done in an effort to further distancing themselves from previous country's music-based identity and to foster an improvement in native programming. Spike TV (2003-2018)

In April 2003, Viacom announced that TNN would be relaunched as Spike TV on June 16, 2003. Promoted under the slogan "First Network for Men", Viacom aims to target the demographics of young adult males between the ages of 18-34 years - which they believe are being served inadequately by other cable networks, and to further extend the network of TNN names to match the current programming direction. Spike launch programming will include a row of new adult animated series like Gary the Rat , Ren & amp; Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" (adult revival of former Nickelodeon series The Ren & Stimpy Show, led by original creator John Kricfalusi) and Stripperella , as well as other new series such as Ride with Funkmaster Flex . Also planned is a segment that works with Men's Health , Items and CBS Marketwatch. Recent acquisitions, such as CSI , WWE Raw , and Star Trek , will also remain part of the network schedule.

Three days before the planned launch date, film director Spike Lee won the New York Supreme Court order to prevent Viacom from using the name "Spike TV". Lee claims that due to his famous popularity in Hollywood, viewers will assume that he is associated with a new channel. Lee stated in a court document that: "The media description of this name change, as well as the comments made to me and my wife, confirm what is clear - that Spike TV is referring to Spike Lee." Spike Jones Jr., the son of comic musician Spike Jones, became part of the lawsuit as part of Viacom's defense to protect the rights on his father's behalf.

The lawsuit was settled on July 8, 2003; in announcing the settlement, Lee admitted that he did not believe that the channel was deliberately trying to trade his name. On July 28, 2003, it was announced that TNN would be renamed Spike TV on August 11, 2003 - eight weeks ahead of schedule. The evening launch program featured two programs originally aired on June 16, including Feast with Spike - a special launch filmed in Playboy Mansion, and premiere The Most Extreme Abolition Challenge -> comedy comedy of the Japanese game show Takeshi Castle .

Programming spikes, 2003-2006

Along with its launch program, Spike printed some great coups in terms of programming, received syndication rights to several Star Trek series (produced by another Viacom branch, Paramount Television), as well as most of the James Bond series. After Ren & amp; Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" has been canceled, the channel starts showing original classic episodes Ren & amp; Stimpy series under the title Ren & amp; Stimpy: The Classics . Production Klasky Csupo Imigran was originally scheduled to run on the Spike TV animated block, but this never materialized and the series turned into a film instead. Also not shown is the animated production of John Leguizamo Zilch & amp; Zero .

In the fall of 2003, Spike TV aired The Joe Schmo Show, a parody of reality television shows like Survivor and Big Brother. The final resulted in the highest ranking of channels at the time, and the second season aired in Summer 2004. 2003 also watched the debut of the Video Game Awards, which later became famous for supporting the demography of the channel itself at the expense of the larger gaming community. In November 2004, Spike TV purchased cable/satellite syndication rights to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation at a record price of $ 1.9 million per episode. It joined the lineup on October 1, 2006.

On January 18, 2005, Spike TV aired The Ultimate Fighter , a series of reality competitions that focused on Ultimate Fighting Championship - a mixed martial arts promotion. The Ultimate Fighter's success led UFC to expand its program on Spike to include other series, such as UFC Unleashed, UFC PrimeTime and Access All UFC . The Ultimate Fighter aired on Spike for 14 seasons but ended its network operations in 2011 with the announcement that Fox Sports has secured US television broadcasting rights to UFC with a new seven-year contract.

In March 2005, Viacom announced that it would not renew its contract with WWE (previously WWF) when it expired in September 2005. Spike's new president, Doug Herzog, stated that the network had planned to "expand investment in native programming and new acquisitions to viewers essentially ", including new script programming. The next month, it was announced that WWE Raw will return to USA Network. Spike then reached agreement with another wrestling campaign, TNA, who saw TNA Impact! premiere on October 1, 2005 at Saturday night time slot. It moved to Thursday in April 2006, and expanded to two hours in October 2007. On March 8, 2010, Impact! move to Monday night start, though Impact! shifted back to Thursday after the program experienced a decrease in the number of viewers in the time slot Monday. Later that month, Spike TV debuted Game Head with Geoff Keighley, a weekly video game show, and then followed up with a short-lived Fresh Baked Videogame , making both parts of ranks of their "Saturday Night" Slammin.

Star Trek

Spike has been dedicating large pieces of programming time to the Star Trek franchise in the past before Viacom/CBS Corporation split up on January 1, 2006 leaving most of Star Trek intellectual property for CBS as part from the former Paramount Television division and they decided to use the licensing options from their previous brothers Viacom. It featured Star Trek: The Next Generation heavy before introducing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in 2004 and Star Trek: Voyager in 2006. All of these introductions are accompanied by multi-day marathons at some point; marathon Next Generation includes appearances by celebrities such as Wil Wheaton, who plays Wesley Crusher in this series. Deep Space Nine and Voyager have been degraded late into the night before they disappeared from the channel schedule, and The Next Generation has disappeared several months before the syndicated rights were purchased by Syfy. The franchise promotion Trek earned Spike the everyday title of The Star Trek Channel during this period as much as a third (eight hours) programming block is devoted to the franchise.

The important omission during that period was Star Trek: Enterprise, whose channel was forwarded (Syfy had begun to defuse it into a four-hour block late Monday). Meanwhile, TV Land owns the rights to Star Trek: The Original Series, but Spike states that there may not be enough episodes (just three seasons) to accommodate the type of block that it wants to serve. Spike then replaces the block with re-runs of Disorderly Conduct: Video on Patrol and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation .

"Get More Action"

In 2005, Viacom conducted a study that found that Spike TV's new direction alienated its target audience and advertisers. Word of mouth knowledge is narrowly regarded as Spike TV programming as "low-low", rude, and relies on sex appeal, rather than reflecting the various programs offered by the channel. These findings made Viacom chase the Spike rebranding in an effort to clarify its focus.

Paramount Network (2018-current)

On February 9, 2017, Viacom announced that Spike will be re-branded as Paramount Network in 2018. The change is designed to provide a closer relationship with Paramount Pictures movie studios, and is part of the restructuring plan by the new Viacom CEO. Bob Bakish refocused most of his media business around six leading brands, including Paramount, and BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., and MTV. The name change took place on January 18, 2018, and was flagged by the special Michael Jackson Special Battle Sync Battle of Dolby Theater. New original series announced for the first half of 2018 include miniseries Waco , Yellowstone , along with American Woman and Heathers - two comedies originally scheduled for TV Land. The Shannara Chronicles , who moved to Spike for season 2 of MTV, was not updated by Paramount Network.

Paramount Network is positioned as a basic "premium" cable network, similar to competitors like AMC and FX. Network president Kevin Kay explains that Bakish wants Viacom to have a "pre-eminent" booth for programming with scripts, as opposed to making inefficient investments into them on individual channels. He added that the Paramount Network offerings will be distinguished from other basic "premium" cable networks by continuing to emphasize Central America as the primary viewing base. Even with the next rebrandings, Paramount Network still has the power of train and viewers in the Midwest and South because of its legacy as TNN. Kay argues that the initial slate of the original drama is not "dark", citing the Yellowstone setting for making it "brighter and a little more blue than some of the things on premium cable TV now." In connection with the program transferred to Paramount Network from TV Land, American Women were transferred to take advantage of starring Alicia Silverstone and Mena Suvari, while Heathers was moved because, in Kay's opinion, the show is not appropriate for TV Land's target audience. However, in June 2018, it was revealed that Heathers had been dropped by Paramount Network and Viacom, citing network concerns over the content of the series. The series will be sent to other outlets.

Paramount Network embarked on a viral marketing campaign to promote its launch in December 2017. This campaign includes a Times Square advertisement that asks viewers to call and email Paramount Network's chief marketing officer Niels Schuurmans to protest Spike's "hoisting" and a series of posting stops by a Twitter account network of history and programs (including that "My favorite number is 329 because the number of times Cops is on every night", "We have an event called The Joe Schmo Show . every name of the event deserves to be taken, "and that" There's a reason all our initial events are CSI , UFC, TNA, MXC , UTI. No one here knows how read "). A network executive declared that the campaign was meant to represent a "public ruin" by a dismissed employee. Spike also hosted a live streaming event on January 17, 2018 where users can choose various ways that the crew will do to spoil the big model of the Spike logo (culminating with its demolition).

International availability

Canada

In April 1984, while as TNN, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved a channel for carriage by Canadian cable and satellite television providers. After re-branding as Spike TV, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters filed a complaint to the CRTC on behalf of Canwest Global, demanding the channel be removed from Canadian television providers. CAB felt that its new public entertainment format would be too competitive with Canadian-run special channels, arguing that there was an overlap in its niche and the current schedule with Men TV (Men's lifestyle), Space ( Star Trek ), sports channels (The Score broadcasts WWE programming), Discovery Health (interstitial segment focusing on men's health, though the network does not broadcast a full program on the topic), along with naming Unexplained Reporting on CTV Television and Travel Business for unknown reasons.

In January 2005, the CRTC dismissed the CAB complaint, ruling that it provided insufficient evidence that Spike directly competed with Canada's special channel. The CRTC decided that Spike is not too competitive with Men TV, as it is licensed to broadcast a male-oriented lifestyle program (in contrast to Spike, which CRTCs are classified as a public entertainment channel targeting male audiences), and the rest Charges overlap with domestic special channels Canada represents only a fraction of Spike's overall programming.

Due to programming rights issues, programs whose channels have no right to air outside of the US will be replaced by alternative programs.
