New diginet launching on Gray stations (56 markets) on January 1st. Joint venture between Gray and Ryman Hospitality, which used to be Gaylord Entertainment. Sounds like what TNN was before CBS ruined it.

Isn't Heartland supposed to be the replacement for TNN?

Heartland originally was called TNN during it's first few years of operation, They even used the original TNN logo.

Memory was a tad fuzzy, but that's what I thought, too.

I remember it changed from “The Nashville Network” to “The National Network” after it completely revamped its programming.

That was the original cable\satellite version of TNN, which also later became Spike TV & is now the Paramount Network.

WAFF 48 (NBC in Huntsville, AL) has been running a promo on 48.3 for the past few weeks now. It originally started out as a black screen with text about Circle coming soon. Now, they're running a 2-1/2 minute promo 24/7. It seems like a waste of bandwidth to me considering that they're not launching until January 1.

 

[Tower Guy]

By running the promo now, anyone who scans before January 1 will be ready when the channel launches.

It's now live.

It is not live in Green Bay, Wisconsin yet. Circle will go live on Gray TV-owned ABC network affiliate WBAY-TV 2 on subchannel 2-3 (replacing Ion Television, which moved to 2-6) in just a few hours from now...

When TNN/The Nashville Network was brought back for a few short years before becoming Heartland, this short-lived TNN revival was a joint venture between Jim Owens Entertainment and Luken Communications.

Looks like they have F-Troop, and Hee-Haw for regular series.

Dallas has "Circle" on 21-4

Circle Network appeared yesterday on channel 57.5 Philly 57 from Philadelphia. Glad to see a country network on OTA.

They also carry the Jeff Foxworthy Show.

 

[spongella]

Can't wait to see Hee Haw reruns, my favorite show. Wonder if there will be any sportsman-type programs, e.g. fishing, hunting, camping?

 

[N5XZS]

Hopefully they expand to Albuquerque's TV market pretty sooner the better!

Circle TV showed up here yesterday on WDBJ TV channel 7.2 out of Roanoke, Va. I didn't even have to scan to get it. Turned the TV on yesterday and went through channels and it was already there??

I'm not into "Grit" music stuff so there probably won't be much on there that I'll watch. Good to see a new channel come in though.

Circle has appeared on KBCW 44.5 here in San Francisco and on KMAX 31.5 in Sacramento, both CBS O&Os.

Wilx Lansing Michigan has circle now plus ion.
