Line 10:
In 2003, the network title was completely changed to [[Spike TV]], or simply Spike as it is called now. The name change was delayed a little from a lawsuit by director [[Spike Lee]], who claimed that viewers would associate the network with him. Unsurprisingly, the Spike network won the case. It did set up an awkward situation where a party at the Playboy Mansion celebrating the new network had to have censor bars and bleeping all over the place to remove all mentions of "Spike" until they got their issues ironed out with Mr. Lee.
''[[WWE Raw|Raw]]'' stuck around for a while but went back to its original home on the [[USA Network]] due to problems between [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] and Viacom, causing Spike to fill the [[Professional Wrestling]] void with the [[TNA|competition]]...and ''[[CSI]]'' reruns.
On February 8, 2017, Viacom announced that Spike will be rebranded as the Paramount Network on January 18, 2018.
