CMT (Country Music Television) is an American channel that is owned by ViacomCBS. It was founded in 1983 and it was the first channel that consisted of only country music videos. Its programming also includes specials and biographies of country artists. Since then, CMT has expanded its offering to include reality and lifestyle programming, shifting away from country music.

CMT is one of the oldest music networks, as it appeared after MTV and VH1. It was founded by Glenn Daniels, and he was the first president of the network. These days, CMT is known for offering music videos, reality shows, and even some fictional series. The network also airs some popular shows and even holds music awards to celebrate and reward the best performers in country music.

While you can access it on cable television, the channel can also be watched via one of the many streaming services that support CMT. The channel is a popular choice, as it reached approximately 92 million US households in 2018.

The primary focus of CMT is country music, but the content seen in day to day programming is not this limited. The channel broadcasts reality and lifestyle shows, with top titles including America’s Funniest Home Videos and Last Man Standing.

Some of the main titles on CMT include original southern reality and lifestyle shows, so it has a general entertainment focus that is not tied to country music so much anymore. It also has a daily music schedule that includes a music video block. One example of shows available during the early morning hours include CMT Hot Twenty, which can be enjoyed every weekend morning. Music videos are traditionally broadcast during morning and night hours.
