Cable TV Channels That Need To Change Their Names

In almost two weeks, nation music legend Ralph Emery will turn 82. I 1st became a fan off Emery, whose birthday in March ten, Though he hosted a speak show named "Nashville Now." On that set, Emery had a sort voice, one particular that created him type of like the Vin Scully of Appalachia.

The hour-extended show featured Emery's interviews with popular nation stars, generally blended with folksy humor. It ran on the cable channel known as The Nashville Network, TNN for quick, along with other applications like the games show "Fandango" and the concert-primarily based "Grand Ole Opry Reside."

Alas, the network ceased to exist in the year 2000, While in order to attract a younger and extra distinctive audience it became The National Network. Later it would adopt its existing name, Spike, along with a absolutely distinctive audience.

Though I bemoan the departure of The Nashville Network, I respect the truth that along with its transform of format came a transform of name. Considering the fact that it no longer represented Nashville, it was acceptable that the channel changed its name.

Some present channels who extended ago changed formats should really comply with the similar pattern as TNN by altering their names. Right here are 5 examples of cable Television networks whose name is no longer relevant to the programming they give.

MTV

Initially subbed Music Tv, the station ran music videos 24 hours a day. It has not aired something connected to music in more than two decades, providing mainly truth shows aimed at teenagers.

The Biography Channel

Two biographies a day, which is about the typical aired by this channel, do not justify its name. Most of its programming schedule is filled with Ghost Stories or human interest shows that have small in typical with biographies.

AMC

The channel's most recognized show is "Breaking Poor," which is nearly the opposite of what a viewer would anticipate from a station referred to as American Film Classics. The show, While beloved by numerous, is neither a Film nor a classic.

A & E

Though it is named Arts and Entertainment Tv, I have a difficult time believing that "CSI" and "Storage Wars" can be filed below either of these two genre.

The History Channel

Considering the fact that While are "UFO Hunters" in any way regarded as history? That show would be a much better match for the Syfy network. "Pawn Stars," the History Channel's other common program, relates in no way to society's idea of history.
