The Nashville Arena (formerly Gaylord Entertainment Center) will now be called Sommet Center as the naming rights have been purchased by the Franklin-based business, The Sommet Group, a collection of companies whose services include human resources administration, payroll processing, insurance and risk, according to the Tennessean. Sommet is pronounced “so-may.”

Nashville now has the distinction of having two major sports venues, L.P. Field & The Sommet Center, named for brands no one has ever heard of before.

What’s with this? Fox has announced a new show called “Nashville” that will follow some young musicians through Music City. Locally, the Christian trade book/bible publisher B&H Publishing Group has launched a weekly web sitcom called HolmanTV (with social networking outposts on FaceBook, MySpace, YouTube, etc). The project, which supports the publisher’s Student Bible, follows some young (fictitious) musicians, Holman and Gigi, who want to break into the music business but who are now stuck in some lame jobs at a Nashville publishing company — hey, wait a minute.
