Great American Country (or '''GAC'''), is a Nashville , Tennessee -based Country Music Cable Television network. As MTV Networks shifts its CMT channel towards a "country culture" format, GAC is making inroads as the network that plays more videos than CMT, about 40 percent more, according to recent data from Nielsen Media Services. GAC is the exclusive television home of the legendary Grand Ole Opry . In March 2006, the channel carried a historic two-hour concert "Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall ," marking the first time an Opry troupe had performed on the famed New York stage since 1961. GAC has been one of the fastest-growing cable networks for the past three years, and is currently available to more than 40,000,000 U.S. households via cable and satellite. In late 2005, Broadcasting & Cable, an industry trade publication, named GAC as one of TV's "Breakout Networks" heading into 2006. Scripps Networks acquired GAC from Centennial, Colorado -based Jones Radio Network on Oct. 12, 2004. Scripps Networks, based in Knoxville , Tennessee, also owns popular lifestyle-oriented chanels Home & Garden Television , Food Network , DIY and FINE LIVING . The company is a subsidiary of The E.W. Scripps Company . EXTERNAL LINKS |
