Zuus Country is an American digital broadcast television network that is owned by Zuus Media. The network specializes in broadcasting country music videos; its playlist of videos extends from the 1980s through the present day. The network also airs occasional infomercials (mostly for country music compilation albums) in prime time and other high dollar day parts (as well as throughout late-night and overnight). The network is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. ==History== The network first launched on January 7, 2009 as the Artists & Fans Network; the music video that inaugurated the network was the Kid Rock video "All Summer Long". AFN was first carried on satellite through DirecTV on channel 236. In August 2009, after suffering from financial problems, Southern Venture Capital Group sold all the assets of the company to one of the founders, Warren Hansen, who then changed its name to the American Music Video Network, and rolled out the programming with a new look and feel. On February 15, 2010, the company was renamed The Country Network to represent its focus on country music. Around this time, The Country Network began to transition into a digital multicast network, carried over-the-air on broadcast television stations across the United States as well as the first broadcast network to simulcast to Roku, iPhone, iPad, web, and other OTT outlets. On May 20, 2013, Zuus Media announced its acquisition of The Country Network. On June 1, 2013, Zuus Media announced the rebranding as Zuus Country.〔(ZUUS Media Announces The Launch Of Its Next Generation Music Video Network ), PR Newswire, May 20, 2013.〕 Zuus Country is expected to lose many of its Sinclair affiliates beginning on October 31, 2015, the day that Sinclair's joint venture network with MGM Television, the sci-fi-centric Comet, will launch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ZUUS Country」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
