Country Music Television (typically abbreviated as CMT, previously as CMTV) is an
American basic cable and
satellite television channel that is owned by Viacom Music and Entertainment Group, a unit of the Viacom Media Networks division of Viacom. CMT was the first nationally broadcast cable channel devoted to country music and country music videos. Programming on the channel originally featured
country music videos, taped concerts and biographies of country music stars, but now mainly consists of
reality programs, off-network syndicated shows and movies with a minimal amount of music videos.
