[[File:tv_tropes_networks_spike.png|frame|[[Double Entendre]]? What [[Double Entendre]]?]]
A Viacom-owned network dedicated to every single male interest possible, as you might've been able to tell by its [[Spike of All Trades|edgy name]]. Basically the [[Rated "M" for Manly]] Network, though some may say they lampshade this often enough to venture into [[Testosterone Poisoning]] and invariably into [[Unfortunate Implications]]..
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.
