When it was launched in the 2000's after TNN had renamed itself The National Network after being known as it's former country music identity TNN had always wanted to change it's image after seeing that an all-country music format would somehow get tiring. And besides a new country music channel had already made it's debut that would be known as CMT. With The Nashville Network's transformation into The National Network already in place it was clear that they wanted to appeal to a different audience and added action shows movies and sports such as NASCAR racing Indy Car racing and WWE Wrestling they knew that men was their target audience and so even though The National Network was a smart idea it would start to have another image makeover by rebranding as Spike TV. "Though many people claim that movie director Spike Lee had created and named the channel after himself he did not name Spike TV after himself" and with movies and shows and sports such as Indy Car racing and boxing Spike TV proved to be a worthy success but when Spike TV got rebranded as Paramount Network I think Paramount had wanted badly to get their own channel and this is probably where the idea for Paramount+ came to be. But in my eyes Spike TV failed because of it's lineup and when I first saw Spike TV it showed mostly sports and I watched a few Indy Car races on there and had there been a better lineup Spike TV would've survived a lot more
