Will you help us do something meaningful—right here in Tennessee?

Last week, we launched our 12-day push to reach 2,000 Flyover investors, and we are now only 200 away from the finish line. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to support The Tennessee Flyover, this is it.

Your investment today doesn’t just help The Flyover nationally—it directly fuels our growth in Tennessee: our audience, our coverage, and our Tennessee team.

Will you stand with The Tennessee Flyover by investing today? We’re looking for 12 Tennessee readers to step up and become investors—your investment, along with other fellow Tennesseans, will ensure we meet our 2,000-investor goal.

Will you be one of them?

Why Invest in The Tennessee Flyover?

1. Grow the Tennessee newsroom and impact.
Your investment helps us expand the Tennessee team, deepen our coverage, and reach more readers across the state.

2. Keep it reader-owned.
We believe Tennesseans—not corporations—should shape the news they rely on.

3. Low minimum, big impact.
We’ve lowered the minimum to $500, making it easier for more Tennesseans to become co-owners of the journalism they trust.

4. Protect honest reporting.
Your support keeps us independent, fact-first, and focused on fair, balanced coverage for Tennessee communities.

A Quick Note

When we launched The Tennessee Flyover, we hoped the state would embrace a trustworthy, unbiased source of news. We didn’t expect so many of you to stand with us. But today, over 91,000 Tennesseans get their daily news from The Tennessee Flyover.

Your investment in The Tennessee Flyover will send a clear message: honest journalism still matters here.

We’re 200 investors away from 2,000 reader-owners, and Tennessee’s shares are just 12 reader-investors. Stepping up now could put us over the top.

Will you help us grow The Tennessee Flyover and hit this milestone?

Kamala Harris Stumps in Nashville

Burchett Shares Video of Driveway Trespass

Rep. Tim Burchett asked the public to help identify two people caught on his home security camera urinating on his Knoxville driveway on Tuesday night.

The footage shows a Jeep pulling up around 5:12 p.m., with one person relieving himself beside the vehicle and the other reportedly targeting Burchett’s security equipment.

The congressman posted the video and a close-up of the license plate online, calling out the shocking behavior. 

There’s no word yet from police on whether charges are being pursued.

Bargatze Eyes Theme Park for Nashville

Comedian Nate Bargatze is teaming up with Storyland Studios to explore building a 100-acre theme park in the Nashville area.

His company, Nateland, is reviewing potential sites and planning features like dining, retail, and a hotel, with a feasibility study expected by early 2026.

Bargatze, an Old Hickory native, says the project aims to fill a gap in major attractions for Middle Tennessee.

The move follows a busy year for the comic, who’s also launching a game show filmed in Nashville.
