Originally, it was known as TNN, a country music channel launched two days after rival [[CMT]]. The Nashville Network was originally owned by Gaylord Entertainment, alongside Westinghouse Broadcasting (an arm of Westinghouse Electric Company). Westinghouse, after becoming [[CBS]] Corporation, purchased all of TNN (and CMT, which Gaylord bought in 1991) in 1997. While it focused mainly on music videos, TNN included original programming such as the game shows ''[[Top Card]]'', [[NASCAR]] races, and outdoor, lifestyle and talk shows targeted to a country audience. |
