Guest EternallyLazy Report post Posted April 15, 2003 TNN ANNOUNCES NAME CHANGE by Dave Scherer Updated: 4/15/2003 3:25:54 PM TNN announced today that on June 16 they will change the name of the network to "Spike TV". It will be the next step in their bid to be the first network dedicated solely to catering to men. They will unveil the new logo on at the MTV Networks upfront presentation in New York City on Tuesday, May 6. They signed partnerships with Men's Health magazine and CBS MarketWatch and will launch a multi-million dollar ad campaign to promote awareness of the new name. Of course, WWE programming will be a focal point of the network. Spike TV?!? I would make fun of this... but it parodies itself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest EternallyLazy Report post Posted April 15, 2003 I don't know what's worse... this Spike TV crap or the ridiculously stupid "we've got pop" campaign that thankfully died months ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 15, 2003 Ahh...Post in between a Double Post...Love it... SPIKE? TNN sounded like a respectable network name...Not SPIKE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2003 This could be the single worst idea in the history of the planet. Spike TV sounds like a bad reality show, or a gay porn chanel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted April 15, 2003 "Spike TV" isn't the best of names, but it's a helluva lot better than "The Nashville Network." Or The NEW TNN... (The New Nashville Network?). We've got pop! (The new Nashville Network has pop?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted April 15, 2003 So we've went from... The Nashville Network "we're country!" to The National Network "we've got pop!" to Spike TV "we're flaming homosexuals!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evilhomer Report post Posted April 15, 2003 The Nashville Network "we're country!" I thought the slogan was "We fuck pigs" That's what Gertner said it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted April 15, 2003 The Nashville Network "we're country!" I thought the slogan was "We fuck pigs" That's what Gertner said it was. Actually, he said "sheep." Spike TV...hmm. Will drinking now be required to watch the network? Will they show Cowboy Bebop? Will we see football of some kind (XFL reruns?)? Will viewers get ideas of what to drive through their eyes during a bad Raw? Will they be making Fire Pro games now? Suckas gots to know. Jayzus. You know that TNN at one point opted to hire a bunch of preppy young TV executives who decided they wanted to move the network in a new direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RedJed Report post Posted April 15, 2003 I just don't get it. Am I missing something? Thats what I was going to say..........how does calling a channel "Spike" equate it being a "guy stuff" channel? Anyway just watch the ratings do a nice "spike" downward when this campaign begins, probably with all the TNN shows, err "Spike TV" shows.......just like the WWE they think promotional manuevers will grab interest. I think any of us could probably think of a better legitmate name change for TNN than this, and thats saying ALOT, no offense lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted April 15, 2003 In the event a piledriver is used on WWE Raw, a second wrestler will be required to jump from the second turnbuckle and push downward on the boots of the recipient. Also, a move involving the thrusting of one's thumb into the throat area of the opponent will make a comeback. The move is rumored to have Asiatic origins.

Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted April 15, 2003 Come on. Scantily-clad men (WWF), men in pink suits (Miami Vice), and the fagtastic name. This "Spike TV" is obviously going to be Viacom's homosexual network they've had planned for so long. http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20020504gaytv7.asp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
