<b>Cable TV's TNN Changes Name to Spike
NEW YORK</b> - Spike is no longer just the name of a famous film director or a volleyball move. Now it's the name of a cable network, too.
Struggling TNN - which just two years ago changed from The Nashville Network to The National Network_ announced Tuesday that, effective June 16, it will call itself Spike TV and become the first network aimed specifically at men.
"We just like the idea of having a guy's name," said Albie Hecht, network president. "We thought that was smart and fun and irreverent." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=529&e=1&cid=529&u=/ap/20030416/ap_en_tv/tv_spike
I guess they're looking for a spike in the ratings! Gi! Gi! Gi!
