Tennessee
, which was founded on November 28, 1925, by George D. Hay
as a one-hour radio "barn dance" on WSM.

From October 15, 1955 to September 1956, ABC-TV aired a live, hour-long
television version of the Opry once a month on Saturday nights, sponsored
by Ralston-Purina, pre-empting one hour of the 90-minute Ozark Jubilee.
