Spike TV re-branded as Paramount Network because the owner ofthe now-defunct Spike TV wanted the company to have a closerconnection to Paramount Studios. Because of this, Spike TV was madand posted like CRAZY on their social media accounts (mainly onTwitter) about how bad the situation was. Spike TV didn't go FULLYdefunct, however. It was just re-branded to Paramount Networkpossibly because the name Spike TV was getting too old to be ontelevision. 6 days before Spike re-branded, Paramount Network'sofficial Facebook account went LIVE on Facebook Live and let peopledestroy the Spike logo until the final BOOM. It was one of theirpromotions for the Paramount Network before it would be fullyre-branded from Spike TV. On January 18th, 2018, Spike TV wasmaking one final broadcast. There was also a countdown timer untilthe Paramount Network premiere, which was a live Lip Sync Battle.From that point on, Spike TV has been fully re-branded, and willNOT be coming back anytime soon. But we will never forget themoments Spike TV shared with us; the fans. Goodbye Spike TV, youwill be missed dearly. Sorry buddy, all good thing must come to anend. Good night, old friend. #GoodbyeSpike
