I remember watching TNN for the first time around 1994. My parents didn't have cable until late in 1993. Prior to that, we had a big satellite dish in our backyard, and it only got a few channels, but it was free (somewhat).
TNN The Nashville Network launched on March 7, 1983 at 8:00 PM with the premiere episode of "Nashville Now." The show was hosted by Ralph Emery, who wore a tuxedo for the occasion. Joe Hostettler produced and directed the show. The Grand Ole Opry House Segment was produced and directed by Bayron Binkley. It featured performances by Roy Acuff, who performs a fiddle balancing act, along with Larry Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers, Ray Stevens, Patti Page, and Chet Atkins, accompanied by The Nashville Network concert orchestra. The New York Remote was produced by Mady Land and Richard Reid, and directed by Allen James. It was produced by Reid/Land Productions and featured performances by Rosanne Cash and T.G. Sheppard. The Chicago segment of the Nashville Network launch night celebration was produced by Sherman Halsey. It featured performances by Tammy Wynette and Don Williams. The Austin Remote segment of the Nashville Network launch night celebration was produced by Terry Lickona and featured performances by Emmylou Harris and Bill Monroe. The Denver Remote segment of the Nashville Network launch night celebration was produced and directed by Bill Turner. It featured performances by George Lindsay and Lynn Anderson. The Los Angeles Remote segment was produced by Harvey M. Palash and John B. Mullin. It featured performances by Tanya Tucker and Hoyt Axton. TNN, The Nashville Network, launched on March 7, 1983. The launch night celebration of The Nashville Network included a star-studded lineup of country music artists. Among the guests were Con Hunley, Jacky Ward, Archie Campbell, Bill Anderson, Wayne Massey, Teddy Bart, Lisa Foster & Danny Gregg, Ed Bruce, Bobby Lord, David Holt, Bobby Bare, Riders in the Sky, and Sir Cecil Creep. The Nashville Network's premiere night celebration was a huge success, and included clips from many of its popular shows. Among the clips were "Dancin' U.S.A.," "I-40 Paradise," "Yesteryear in Nashville," "Fandango," "Nashville After Hours," "Offstage with Teddy Bart," "Opryland on Stage," "American Sports Cavalcade," "Fire on the Mountain," "Bobby Bare and Friends," "Tumbleweed Theater," and "The Phantom of the Opry." The launch of The Nashville Network was a huge success, and we couldn't have done it without the support of our friends at the Opryland Hotel, the Grand Ole Opry, The Savoy Club in New York City, the Park West in Chicago, Illinois, the Southwest Texas Public Broadcasting Council, After the Gold Rush in Denver, Colorado, and the Palomino Club in Los Angeles, California. Thank you all for making this possible! TNN The Nashville Network was originally owned by Group W Satellite Communications. Group W Satellite Communications was a division of Westinghouse Electric Corporation.👍
My mom passed away in 2003 in 1 show of Nashville now in 93 she met 3 of her favs george Jones...and cousin minnie pearl and ralph Emory my mom was in a wheelchair from spine surgery Ralph asked if w wanted to sit closer to the front ralph moved us there an george Jones gave her a hug ..Ralph was a class act ...mom talked bout that till her last days ...I was 13 at the time didnt really understand I'm 42 and I love this country music from 80s
I watched this show every night back in the day. I moved to Nashville in 1990 and played the Stage Door Lounge. This was the first place Nashville Now started, then moved over to the Gaslight Venue over at Opryland.
Thank you for the Nashville Network, Nasville Now and everything Country that has happened in between. Although many of these wonderful people and programs are no longer with us it was wonderful to see and enjoy them all again on RUclips. Please leave these up where we can "look back and appreciate what has gone before". I have been a country fan since I got my first Roy Rogers guitar at the age of 8 nearly 70 years ago.
Some of the band members that Ralph introduced during the 'Nashville Now' portion remained with the show for most, if not all, of it's 10 year run. Jerry Whitehurst, Billy Linneman, Hoot Hester, Fred Newell. The steel guitar player, that I recall the most, was Larry Sasser. He and Fred Newell, for some reason or another, during closing credits would do this comical hand gesture on their faces. Jerry Whitehurst used to do this hand gesture where he'd twirl around some of his fingers and then point to the camera mouthing 'I love you' or something like that. Ralph would close most episodes saying "Mr. Whitehurst...let's go home!".
This is awesome! I have learned so many nuances and oral history type legends since I started doing this... really cool stuff. Thank you for sharing this!
I always loved the NN singers! I saw three of their names in the credits of that newer Tammy Faye movie, so they are still going strong! (Jana, Donna, and Craig)

We finally got TNN on our cable system in the mid 80’s. Nashville Now was the first tv production I ever got to see in person. Long story short, Ralph was the reason I went into Television broadcasting, and I thank him for the 30+ successful years I’ve had in TV. RIP Ralph!!! We miss the original TNN! Cancelling Nashville Now was the biggest and most idiotic decision EVER made!
I remember going to my grandparents and they always had TNN on the television. This brings back good memories. I never got to go to Music City but I always wanted to go.
This is amazing! I called myself a tnn baby being born in 86. I remember asking my Mom if we'd have channel 28 in heaven! That's how important it was to me! Larry Gatlin was the first person to let me sing on stage when I was 2 years old, and Mr. Accuff, Cousin Mini, and Ralph Emery were huge parts of my life! I hope the copyright holders don't take this down because it's such a treasure especially as most of these folks including Ralph as of yesterday are now gone. Thank you for this! Also if you guys have time while your wandering around youtube type my name in and listen to my singing. haha
I too was born in 1986 and I grew up in a small town in South Alabama and we had no MTV. As far as music channels went we had both TNN and CMT. As well as BET and I grew up watching Nashville Now.
Wow...never thought opening night would ever be uploaded on RUclips. We didn't get TNN on our cable system until sometime in 1986 or 1987...so I missed out on the earliest of television programming on TNN which included, obviously, it's opening night in March 1983. I knew Ray Stevens was part of it...as a huge fan of his I keep track of his career...but I'd only seen clips and photos of his involvement but didn't see the other performers and their celebration at finally getting a cable television channel that promoted country music and country living.
@@rickybyrd1426 I remember back when TNN was slowly phasing out the country music programming. On an episode of "Prime Time Country" I remember hearing one of the TNN executives, a guest on that episode, saying how much the network would be in good hands following the sale. The Gaylord family sold TNN to a conglomerate affiliated with CBS. The executive appearing on "Prime Time Country" remarked that CBS had been a long time home of the CMA Awards and I can still hear his words "CBS has aired the CMA Awards for decades and they know how much the people love their country music!!". Of course, the executive didn't think the network would do such an about face in their programming. CBS began filling the air with repeats of "Dallas" and "Dukes of Hazzard". Eventually the channel was re-named The National Network.
@@ACcountryFan Yes, and then Spike TV, etc. Too bad 'cause this channel was incredible for most of its run. You could depend on live performances with quality audio every evening. I miss that.
Although I don't care for most country music, as I'm really a big classic rock fan, I still miss the Nashville Network. There were a few shows I liked on there like I-40 Paradise and Fandango. I also thought Shotgun Red was pretty amusing for a cowboy puppet. May the Nashville Network rest in peace.
I got to appear on "Nashville Now" several times. They would leave cards in the audience seats and ask you to fill them out. One time they had a segment called, "Stump the Band" If you could pick out a song that the "Nashville Now Band" didn't know, you got to sing a verse and chorus of the song in front of the audience and TV viewers. I picked an old Roy Acuff song "Tennessee Central Number Nine". The band didn't know the song. I sang a chorus in front of the audience and live TV. Guest artists were Bill Monroe, Jean Sheppard and Margo Smith.
Thanks a million ..Sad to say my idiot cable provider at the time did not add TNN to its line up until a few years later.. When I finally get the channel.I watch it daily and also had the VCR recording hours and hours of programming until it went belly up .. RIP Ralph Emery .........God Bless him.
Viacom thats what happened. they took control moved TNN to New York and they went down hill from there and was took off the air never been the same since
My dad watched Ralph Emory all the time My grandparents had the grand ole opry on every Saturday night My grandparents were furious when TNN changed format
I also think people forget that tnn remained really REALLY popular through about 1998ish because of the explosion Bill Gaither created along with the Statler Brothers tv show.
Mr Whitehurst if you please! Country Gold Don Darnell....i and my band were on Church Street Station in 1983 WOW! WHAT A BLAST! Me Danny,Chuck and Larry! The good ol days!
I miss TNN Nashville. When CBS bought the channel by 1996, it was the beginning of an end. My hometown Deposit, New York first got this channel in 1984. My all time favorite show on this channel is the 1989-93 game show Top Card hosted by former Tic Tac Dough host Jim Caldwell and TNN host Dan Miller.
When you talk about the 80s, you talk about movies like ET: The Extra-Terrestrial, Top Gun, The Little Mermaid, Beverly Hills Cop, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Return of the Jedi, 9 to 5, Tron, Back to the Future and All Dogs Go To Heaven, video games like Super Mario Bros., Pole Position, Centipede, Tetris, Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, Gauntlet, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man and TV Shows like Dynasty, The Cosby Show, Dallas, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Family Feud, 60 Minutes, Roseanne, The Facts of Life and Cheers!
I don't believe so as I haven't stumbled across any, but I do have two full bins of unmarked tapes so anything is possible. If I come across one, I'll prioritize getting it online!
Amazing footage! Any chance you have the Conway Twitty-Barbara Mandrell Softball Game that aired on TNN in July of 1983? I'm a Conway collector and fanatic and just learned about the special this past week.
@NashvilleVHS, Do you have a tape of Hee Haw 1990 show featuring Lorrie Morgan, Travis Tritt and The Moonshine Cloggers? Do you also have VHS tape of Nashville Now from 1989 featuring Jerry Reed, Travis Tritt, Baillie & The Boys and Chuck and Jeffrey Connors?

Can’t believe they misspelled Ms Page’s first name. I wonder if it might’ve been intentional. Somebody in the control room was protesting over the fact that Patti wasn’t really a country singer, the producers could have gave that spot next to Mr. Acuff to someone more deserving like Dottie West.

Used to live there and watched it regularly. It was back when we could buy season tickets and have a blast at Opryland.

Same here. Recorded so much from TNN on VCR I think there are still some I have to index!
i miss TNN. Never was sure what happened to it.
Broadcast conglomerates like CBS got it from Gaylord and Group W with all the mergers. And take it to a different direction and ruined it ..
Viacom thats what happened. they took control moved TNN to New York and they went down hill from there and was took off the air never been the same since
Pretty sure they eventuality became Spike TV.
