SHOW NAME CHANGED ON THIS DAY IN 1927

The Grand Ole Opry is a weekly country-music stage concert in Nashville, Tennessee. It was founded on November 28, 1925, by George D. Hay as a
one-hour program called the "barn dance" on
WSM radio. The name was
changed when the phrase "Grand Ole Opry" was first uttered on the air 
on December 10, 1927.
