Grand Ole OpryThe home of the world-famous country music show, the Grand Ole
Opry, is now in Opryland Drive in a vast 4,400 seat auditorium
which is part of the Opryland resort complex north of Nashville's
city centre. From here the world's longest running radio show is
still broadcast on the Nashville station WSM (650 on the AM dial),
featuring new stars, superstars and legends of country and
bluegrass music performing live on stage. No visit to Nashville is
complete without attending a show at the Grand Ole Opry, which has
been going strong on the airwaves since 1925. Shows run throughout
the week on different days and times. From February to October, the
shows are hosted by the new Grand Ole Opry House while the winter
run from November to January is hosted by the Opry's former
permanent home, the Ryman Auditorium. The Ryman Auditorium housed
the Grand Ole Opry shows from 1943 until 1974, when the Grand Ole
Opry House was built with a much larger capacity. The provide some
