There is hope for satellite FTA - we need more visionaries like Henry!

Very good read.

Forgive me, I probably should know this. But ... Since this is a FTA forum, I'm wondering if this TNN channel is going to show up on FTA somewhere. Or is it just certain OTA markets?

SES-2 and AMC-7, where all the other Luken networks are.

[Mr Tony]

good to hear

 

[Kraven]

Hopefully it will resume TNN's old programming More Dallas, Dukes and Baywatch...
YES! YES! YES!

Cheers, K

 

[Mr Tony]

hmmm...now the big question

Will it be on KU too?
I know Trip would have some info....I thought he said there was still room on the KU transponder...or maybe crank the symbol rate up a smidge and add it

Given Luken's involvement I would guess they bought the name and will try to run about the Porter Wagonner show and maybe some country music clips from the 60s and 70s oer and over again.

I wonder if when he bought out the TBN stations Paul Crouch said he would never sell, if he also bought the Tapes and Film TBN got when they bought the Nashville station and were going to be kept as part of the museum.

TBD.

There was room left before PBJ was added. Now there isn't.

Anyone know the answer to this guy's question?

In April 2012, Luken Communications and Jim Owens Entertainment announced that they were planning to revitalize and relaunch The Nashville Network as a digital broadcast network. There was no word on whether “Nashville Now” would be shown in reruns, or whether the format would be dusted off for a new spin. Stay tuned for more information on that front.
