Remember The Nashville Network (TNN)? They used to air a bunch of country-fried stuff, including music videos and live concerts, plus racing and other shows. After Viacom (now Paramount) bought out then-parent CBS in 2000 (in turn after CBS bought out Westinghouse in a merger), they were no longer The Nashville Network – the TNN initials were kept, but it was now The National Network and country music videos and concerts were dropped. Then they became a male-oriented macho-themed network called Spike, now it’s the Paramount Network. (The Nashville Network technically would be revived separately as a digital multicast network in 2012, later rebranded as Heartland a year later)
