Chattanoogaville is a new reality series that is currently in the production process.  Chattanoogaville focuses on conservative politics versus liberal beliefs and was created by Melanie Tipton, who is from Chattanooga. 

The name "Chattanoogaville" is a made up name to represent the people that live in small towns through out the United States that feel like the U.S. government doesn't care or hear them. The Chattanoogaville cast members are the voice of small town America. 

Chattanoogaville is not about Chattanooga but the TV show will be based out of Chattanooga and Collegedale. 

Camera crews follow the small town America patriots, who stand up to the U.S. government and investigate issues that are affecting America in a negative way, officials said. 

Chattanoogaville is a Tea Party TV Show to help change the perceptions and myths about the conservative movement in America. 

Chattanoogaville and Courage, New Hampshire will be marketing the conservative TV shows together.  Courage, New Hampshire is the chronicle of a shire town on the western border of New Hampshire. In those days, the inn keeper was often the justice of the peace as well, and neighborly disputes were moderated at the local public house or tavern. Starting with the winter of 1770, the show will be telling the seasonal story of the events of the era, as seen from a country town distant from the colonial capitals. Each new season of this decade, will take the audience on the road to revolution, along with the citizens of Courage.
