Country Music Television – along with other networks – urged many to "wear orange" over the weekend as part of a coordinated stance against gun violence.
"We're (virtually) wearing orange today in support National Gun Violence Awareness Day and to call attention to the more than 100 lives that are lost every day to gun violence," the ViacomCBS-owned entity tweeted Friday ahead of the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday.
The campaign, citing fatal injury reports data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the years 2015 through 2019, claimed that "Every day more than 100 Americans are killed with guns." "Wear Orange" is part of Everytown for Gun Safety's gun control campaign, which is backed by Michael Bloomberg. The effort was met with intense criticism from many on social media.

Where can I get underpants in Hunter Orange?
Country music sure has gone in the toilet.
Should run on BET instead.
LOL
I don’t watch CMT -
CMT is an American pay television channel owned by ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks
My brother and sister both killed themselves.
Neither used a gun.
The Bush Rule: “Attacking your base is not a winning strategy”
Could this be indicative of the actual political affiliations of the CMT senior staffing? I’m thinking yes. Disturbing they don’t know their own audience, but their propensity to lib lean is irresistible. This tells us all we need to know about the median age within CMT as well.
This is something that might be expected from a more general interest music platform such as Spotify, yet their logo remains the same, not ‘rainbowed’ at least not while I was listening at lunchtime today.
U of Texas uses “burnt orange”. Bright orange is Tennessee. I know it is a slight difference. Syracuse uses the same orange but they aren’t located in the heart of CW music.
I’m a big fan of country music but I don’t think I’ve ever watched CMT. I mean ever. If I want to listen to country music, I have at least six stations on Sirius/XM that play it exclusively commercial free. Then I always have my massive music library to fall back on.
My firearms self identify as cordless hole punchers. And they don’t need batteries or recharging so they’re ECO FRIENDLY!
The first gun control laws in the US were enacted to thwart Blacks, particularly freed slaves from accessing firearms. So gun control is a RACIST DOG WHISTLE
Leftists **** up every single thing they touch.

Obviously CMT needs a new staff of researchers that have even a slight inkling of what their target audience ie:Country folks are comprised of. They might be surprised its Not a bunch of classified city clickers.
And maybe Oregon. They’ve got something like 30 units to choose from. Certainly they’ve got an orange uni in there somewhere.
