TNN Awards
# TNN Awards

Mit den jährlich vergebenen TNN Awards (The Nashville Network) wurden die besten aktuellen Country-Musiker geehrt. 1990 wurden die TNN Awards mit den MCN Awards (Music City News) verschmolzen. Ab 2000 arbeitete TNN bei der Preisvergabe mit der Zeitschrift Country Weekly zusammen.

Die TNN Fernsehstation verließ Nashville 2001 Richtung New York und wurde von The Nashville Network in The National Network umbenannt. Die Vergabe der TNN Awards wurde eingestellt.
