As a fan of country music, we need a new TNN or CMT. The question is... is this new country network going to be a diginet or is it going to be on cable?

Gotta give credit to any organization that sticks around for 1,065 years. Hey, it's longer than the Notre Dame cathedral.

An annotated look at 30 years of WLS morning news promos:

Gray Television is now getting into the multicasting and expanding deeper into the OTT business. It's teaming up with Grand Ole Opry parent Opry Entertainment Group (whose parent, Ryman Hospitality Properties [as Gaylord Entertainment], launched The [original] Nashville Network [now the Paramount Network] in 1983) to launch a multiplatform network and VOD effort focusing on "artist-driven country lifestyle programming." https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/234281/gray-teams-with-grand-ole-opry-on-tv-network/

Here's a block of commercials and promos from KUTP (IND) 45 in Phoenix from 1986. The promo design and TOH ID are the original from their 1985 sign-on. They would become a #3 (yet respectable after picking up the "red hot"--at the time--Phoenix Suns in 1988) indie (I'm counting KNXV during their first few years with FOX as still independent).
