News & Notes | Episode of 9-1-1 Nashville to be filmed in Knoxville
TEAM TN will host its next event on November 7 at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology in Smyrna.
From Knoxville:
The Visit Knoxville Film Office has announced that 9-1-1: Nashville, a primetime television series that will air on ABC, will be filming this fall in Knoxville for one of its inaugural season episodes.
The inaugural episode of 9-1-1: Nashville premiered last week on October 9. It serves as the second spin-off of the 9-1-1 franchise, following 9-1-1: Lone Star, which concluded in February 2025. The series is created by Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear, and Rashad Raisani, with Brad Falchuk and Angela Bassett also serving as Executive Producers. Set in Nashville, the series follows the lives of emergency responders—including firefighters, paramedics, and police officers—as they face life-threatening situations.
The Visit Knoxville Film Office promotes Knoxville and Knox County as a premier filming location. The Film Office supports local production companies with resources such as locations, permits, destination services, and any other needs to ensure smooth production. Since 2016, the Film Office has been actively recruiting feature films, and Knoxville has since been named to MovieMaker Magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker” five times.
“This is a really extraordinary time for the Visit Knoxville Film Office and for Knoxville itself, particularly as it relates to film in our destination,” said Kim Bumpas, President of Visit Knoxville. “November will be full of back-to-back excitement with not only hosting our third annual film festival, FILM FEST KNOX, but now with this filming taking place, we will continue to put Knoxville on the map for more production.”
From Chattanooga:
The Chattanoogan.com reports that Chattanooga 2.0 has been selected for a new initiative that will help seven communities across the country reach their economic mobility goals by expanding enrichment and career-focused opportunities for young people. Chattanooga 2.0 was selected following an extensive process, which started with an “Open Call” that drew interest from more than 1,700 communities.
Supported by The Wallace Foundation, the Advancing Opportunities for Adolescents initiative is a national effort that will explore how schools, nonprofits, government agencies, businesses, and other entities can deepen their collaboration with the afterschool, enrichment, and summer programs that comprise each community’s out-of-school sector.
The initiative also includes partnerships in Adams County and Broomfield County, CO; Akron, OH.; Poughkeepsie, NY; Monterey County, CA.; South Salt Lake City and Millcreek, UT.; and Wayne County, NY.
From Smyrna:
TEAM TN will host its next event – a six-hour gathering on November 7 at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology, 663 Ken Pilkerton Drive in Smyrna. The theme is “Convening: From Learning to Earning.”
Officially known as Technology-Enhanced Advanced Mobility in Tennessee, TEAM TN was one of the inaugural 44 recipients of $1 million each in the “NSF Regional Innovation Engines Development Awards” program that was announced in May 2023 (see teknovation.biz article here).
Among the topics to be discussed is maintaining the momentum after the proposal failed to make the semifinal cut. Other topics to be covered include:
- TNWorks and Statewide Impact;
- Nissan’s Centers for Excellence;
- Nissan and TCAT Faculty Exchange Program; and
- Statewide AI Tennessee Initiative.

From Knoxville, but in Nashville:
Two Knoxvillians – Jonathan Oldacre (Lytdryv) and Brandon Guerrero (The Kiln) – are hosting what they call the “Clay in Tennessee: Launch Event” from 4 to 7 p.m. CDT on October 23 at Pinewood, 33 Peabody Street in Nashville.
Describing Clay as one of the most powerful go-to-market tools available today, the event will feature a quick networking session, before “we’ll kickstart the event with a live Clay workflow demo that combines theory with tactical pro-tips. We’ll also dive into the differences between RevOps and GTM Engineering, and get a quick recap of Clay’s first conference.”
