Into the Depths: CMT Swims Beneath the Surface in Making of "Dive Bar" Special

We've all heard it said sometimes there's more than meets the eye.
​In the case of the making of the video for Garth Brooks and Blake Shelton's "Dive Bar", (Garth's first music video in TWELVE years!) CMT is offering you the chance to see more at sea level. (One example tidbit: You won't BELIEVE where Garth found the amps featured in the video...let's just say they're no stranger to H2O). -MC/TCC

A special broadcast of The Making of “Dive Bar” will exclusively premiere on CMT on Saturday, January 18 at 12pm/11am CT, and will re-air on Sunday, January 19 at 12pm/11am CT. After its initial CMT premiere, CMT's cable all-music channel CMTMusic (channel 145 via Xfinity/Comcast) makes more laps with the special, airing it three times throughout the following week: Tuesday, January 21st at 5pm/4pm CT, Friday, January 24th at 10pm/9pm CT and Sunday, January 26th at 8pm/7pm CT (https://www.xfinity.com/stream/entity/8015188385938332112). 

Brooks co-directed the music video alongside Robert Deaton, teaming up to make a one-of-a-kind concept. Brooks and Deaton share the process that went into making the video, including Brooks’ band members taking scuba diving lessons to bring the song to life and the meticulously shot visuals throughout.

Shelton also offers a humorous glimpse into the atmosphere on set for the video that garnered more than 30 million views in five days. CMT Hot 20 Countdown will celebrate the broadcast premiere with a special “Garth Weekend,” featuring over 3.5 hours of Garth-centric programming for its weekend shows. CMT Hot 20 Countdown: Garth Weekend will air at 9am ET/8am CT on Saturday, January 18 and Sunday, January 19.
