About Spike TV

Spike (formerly called Spike TV), a division of MTV Networks, is an American cable network designed for an audience described demographically as "young adult males." The network began life as The Nashville Network (TNN), founded by WSM, Inc. (a subsidiary of National Life and Accident Insurance Company) in a joint venture with Group W Satellite Communications on March 7, 1983 and acquired a few months later by Gaylord Entertainment Company. As of 2006, Spike's viewership was almost half women (45%), although many of them are reported to be watching it with male partners or family members, or were watching the CSI franchise. The average age of the network's viewers was 42 years old. Spike is available in 96.1 million American homes. The network features re-runs of popular shows such as CSI, CSI: NY, Unsolved Mysteries, Married With Children, UFC, and various original programs and movies. It is also the home of the professional wrestling organization Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's flagship show Impact!.
