The Gospel Music Network was a commercial Christian cable television station which launched in 1986 by Bill and Linda Airy.
 At the time, the Airy's owned a full-service advertising agency in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
 One of the agency's clients was Pepsi-Cola Bottling Group.
 In 1986, Pepsi-Cola was interested in reaching an African-American audience for its Mountain Dew product.
 Research indicated that gospel music was a possible area for Mountain Dew sponsorship.
 With no gospel music programming available nationwide on any existing network, the Airy's decided to launch a channel and Gospel Music Network (GMN) was born.
 A guiding tenet was that GMN would never ask for donations on-air but would rely on advertising sponsorships and license fees from distributors.
Mountain Dew (sometimes stylized as Mtn Dew) is a carbonated soft drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo.
 The original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman.
 A revised formula was created by Bill Bridgforth in 1958.
 The rights to this formula were obtained by the Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia.
 William H. "Bill" Jones of the Tip corporation further refined the formula, launching that version of Mountain Dew in 1961.
 In August 1964, the Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired from Tip by the Pepsi-Cola company, at which point distribution expanded more widely across the United States and Canada.
Surge (sometimes styled as SURGE) is a citrus flavored soft drink first produced in the 1990s by The Coca-Cola Company to compete with Pepsi's Mountain Dew.
 Surge was advertised as having a more "hardcore" edge, much like Mountain Dew's advertising at the time, in an attempt to lure customers away from Pepsi.
 It was originally launched in Norway as Urge, and was so popular that it was later released in America as Surge.
 Lagging sales caused production to be ended in 2006 for most markets, and by 2014 Norway was the last country where either Urge or Surge were still sold.
Nevis Mountain Dew is a 1978 play by American playwright steve carter .
 Set in the 1950s, it is the second of Carter's Caribbean trilogy.

Cottee's is an Australian brand of cordial drinks, owned by Schweppes Australia.
In addition to Pepsi's Mountain Dew, Coca-Cola's Mello Yello or Dr Pepper's Sun Drop, there are a variety of smaller or regional brands for citrus soda.

The Pepsi-Cola Made with Real Sugar, formerly called Throwback, is a brand of soft drink sold by PepsiCo in the United States and in sweet stores in South Australia for its flagship Pepsi and Mountain Dew brands.
 The drinks, called Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback, are named as such because they are flavored with cane sugar and beet sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, which soft drink companies used to replace sugar (in their North American products) in the 1980s.
 In addition, these drinks use retro packaging.
 As of June 2014, Pepsi Throwback has been replaced in some areas of the United States by "Pepsi-Cola Made with Real Sugar", a new product formulation, also made without high fructose corn syrup.
Diet Mountain Dew is a no-calorie Mountain Dew that was first introduced in 1986.
 It was formerly known as "Sugar-Free Mountain Dew" until 1986, when it was given its current name.
 In 2006 Diet Mountain Dew was reformulated with a new "Tuned Up Taste", using a blend of sucralose, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium as sweeteners.
 The previous formulation was sweetened exclusively with aspartame.
 In limited areas in the United States, Diet Mountain Dew has treated water instead of carbonated water as a fountain drink.
"Good Old Mountain Dew" (ROUD 18669), sometimes called simply "Mountain Dew" or "Real Old Mountain Dew", is an Appalachian folk song composed by Bascom Lamar Lunsford and Scotty Wiseman.
 There are two versions of the lyrics, a 1928 version written by Lunsford and a 1935 adaptation by Wiseman.
 Both versions of the song are about moonshine.
 The 1935 version has been widely covered and has entered into the folk tradition becoming a standard.
