Description: The Nashville Network (TNN), was an American country music-oriented cable television network launched as a basic cable and satellite TV channel on March 7, 1983. Operating from the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park near Nashville, Tennessee, TNN was the first country music cable television network, beating their nearest competitor by two days. Programming included music videos, taped concerts, movies, game shows, syndicated programs, and numerous talk shows. On September 25, 2000, after an attempt to attract younger viewers failed, TNN's country music format was changed, and the network was renamed The National Network, which only lasted a few years before going off the air for good.

Description: The Z Channel was one of the first pay television stations in the United States. Launched in 1974 from Los Angeles, California, this station was known for its devotion to the art of cinema due to the eclectic choice of films by the programming chief, Jerry Harvey. It also popularized the use of letterboxing on television, as well as showing 'director's cut' versions of films (which is a term popularized after Z Channel's showing of Heaven's Gate). Z Channel's devotion to cinema and choice of rare and important films had an important influence on such directors as Robert Altman, Quentin Tarantino, and Jim Jarmusch.
Description: Gallagher is an American comedian who became one of the most recognizable comedic performers of the '80s for his prop and observational routines that included the signature act of smashing a watermelon on stage with a comically large sledgehammer. For more than three decades, he did 200 shows a year, destroying tens of thousands of melons with the sledgehammer he called the "Sledge-O-Matic." Aside from his signature comedy club performances, Gallagher is credited with having the first stand-up special on cable TV, and for largely shaping the genre.

Description: Southwestern Bell traces its roots back to The Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company, which was founded in 1882. It was consolidated under a single management unit of the Bell System with Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company of Texas-Arkansas, Pioneer Telephone and Telegraph Company of Oklahoma, and The Bell Telephone Company of Missouri—on March 1, 1912. These companies comprised the "Southwestern System" of the Bell System. The latter three companies were legally merged into Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company in 1917, which was renamed Southwestern Bell. This '70s design is a replica of a tee technicians were given to promote the company's customer service.

Description: Cable TV came to Manhattan in the early '70s in an attempt to deal with poor signals around the tall buildings, but cable didn't reach all of New York City until the mid '80s. While there were plenty of early cable companies serving the market, Plaza Cable wasn't one of them. Plaza is a fictional NYC cable company that originated in a '90s sitcom where the cable guy was trying to get into an apartment to turn off premium channels that were mistakenly added to their plan. The resident turns the tables, forcing the cable guy to experience what it's like waiting on them, all while enjoying his premium cable channels.
