'Opry Live' bows out from CMT
Beginning Oct. 4, Grand Ole Opry Live, the televised one-hour portion of the weekly country music radio show, will move from Country Music Television (CMT) to competitor Great American Country (GAC).
The Opry will lose reach in the switch; GAC is in 25 million U.S. households compared with CMT's 70 million. It will, however, maintain its regular weekly presence and increase the number of repeat telecasts for Grand Ole Opry Live. The show currently airs at 8 p.m. ET live/PT tape each Saturday and will air live at 8 p.m. ET/5 PT when it moves.
CMT's Grand Ole Opry Live telecast draws approximately 1.5 million to 2 million viewers each week, making it the cable channel's highest-rated weekly series.
Country music fans, we need your help! As you may have heard, CMT will no longer be airing the Grand Ole Opry. GAC has taken over telecasting it, but GAC is not part of DirectTVs programming. Please help us encourage DirectTV to add GAC to their basic programming package, which in turn will help the Opry increase its viewers, and will save DirectTV customers the hassles of switching satellite providers to one that does offer GAC.
