CMT used to be on cable and satellite but closed down around 15 years ago due to lack of advertising and I believe several millions in debt. I think it was run by CMT but was a separate company, CMT Europe.
People didn't tune in because 'in general', British people hate country music, in my view, because of the bland, clichéd stuff that was churned out in the seventies. Which is a shame, because in the early nineties, much of the 'New Country' that was around was being made by people who had grown up listening to Rock music and proper traditional country who fused the two together and were making some pretty decent music.
But prejudice prevailed and they just didn't get the viewers. I think it would still be the same today.
