tnn

tnn is an acronym that has been used for several different entities, the most notable being The Nashville Network, a United States cable television channel. The Nashville Network was launched in 1983 by Gaylord Entertainment and focused on country music, Southern culture, and related entertainment. It aired country music programming and shows tied to the genre's stars and venues, including performances associated with the Grand Ole Opry.

In 2000, the channel was renamed The National Network to broaden its programming beyond country music. In 2003 Viacom acquired the network and rebranded it as Spike TV, shifting toward male-oriented general entertainment and reality programming. Spike TV later evolved into the Paramount Network, with the rebrand completed in 2018, and most of the original country-music branding was phased out. The Nashville Network brand effectively ended as a standalone entity, though its legacy is preserved in the historical record of American cable television.

Apart from this prominent television usage, the acronym “tnn” can appear in other contexts as well, referring to different organizations, projects, or technical terms. Because these usages are diverse and less widely known, they are typically clarified by context or additional qualifiers. The Nashville Network and its successor brands represent the primary cultural and historical association of the acronym in popular media.
