The Hollywood Reporter is reporting Spike TV will undergo a rebrand as the Paramount Network, and a formal announcement could come as soon as Thursday. The change could come as early as 2018; no details were given as far as what the new lineup would mean for Bellator MMA, or other popular shows on the network such as Bar Rescue, Ink Master and Lip Sync Battle. Spike also previously featured UFC and TNA Impact Wrestling, as well as WWE (when it was still called ‘TNN’). Variety is also reporting the new network has plans to possibly aggregate content from Viacom owned networks such as CMT and TV Land, and it’s being speculated that there could be plans to integrate the brand across the network as part of a company wide strategy. The channel originally debuted in 1983 as ‘The Nashville Network’ before being officially renamed as ‘TNN’ and ‘The National Network’, and the ‘Spike TV’ name was first introduced in 2003. Spike featured mostly male-oriented programming and branding, but the last ‘The Ones To Watch’ rebrand in 2015 was aimed to include women.

Ah man, where else am I going to be able to watch 47 episodes of "Bar Rescue" every Sunday?? It's a shame. Spike TV was a lot like Fox Network in the beginning, it was geared to guys and had out of the ordinary TV shows, but then they just get mainstream. I do like "Ink Masters" though. Here's hoping that sticks around.

Honestly, I haven't cared about the channel since they ended 1,000 Ways to Die. Even then, once Ron Perlman stopped hosting it, I lost interest.

Failing Spike TV has had the worst rating since splitting with TNA. They keep losing! Sad!

I haven't watched the channel too much in recent years, but there was a time when I'd constantly have it on. The UFC was my main reason, but Deadliest Warrior, 1000 Ways to Die, and Auction Hunters were all personal favs. I even liked that show they briefly had about scrap collectors in NYC. Once they lost the UFC, and some of the other shows became a bit too over-produced, I lost interest.

I feel like they are a network that over the last 20 years just can't find an identity

I haven't watched Spike TV since TNA Impact left it.
I did however enjoy those hour long shows of disaster situations. Like when Trains derail, or when buildings crumble. But I had no need to watch 56 hours in a row of Cops.
