Кантри-музыка 1971: Отмены, Синдикация и Новые Имена.

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1971.

Seeking younger, more urban viewers, CBS cancels nearly all of its rural themed programming. Among the most notable casualties:
The Beverly Hillbillies – a sitcom which had aired since 1962, about the misadventures of an Appalachia clan who become oil tycoons. Green Acres – another sitcom about a New York attorney and his wife who move to the country and start farming. Hee Haw – the country music variety show starring Roy Clark and Buck Owens. Fans of Hee Haw were quickly soothed when the show entered syndication in the fall. The show was an immediate success, and viewers would continue to make their weekly visit to Kornfield County for the next 20 years. Meanwhile, both The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres would continue to live on in syndication. ABC, also hoping to draw in younger viewers, canceled, among other shows, The Johnny Cash Show. Although not country music oriented, The Lawrence Welk Show, which had among its older leaning demographics country music fans, is also canceled, but like Hee Haw will be revived in the fall in syndication to great success. Up and coming country music star Mickey Gilley and business partner Sherwood Cryer open Gilley's, a bar/honky tonk that was featured in the 1980 movie Urban Cowboy, and became famous for featuring up and coming country acts and its mechanical bulls.
