Hello,
I agree the Grand Ole Opry "as it is" is not
as good "as it was". It is, however, better
than it "will be" if we don't take this action!
You can still listen to 650 WSM and get better
music than many country radio stations. I live
in California. I was at the Opry in October.
They still do have the Legends there. The Legends
don't seem to be on the televised portion as much
though. I guarantee you the last petition went
all the way to Colin Reed, CEO of Gaylord Entertainment. You can email Colin Reed at
creed@gaylordentertainment.com. You can also email John Padgett of WSM 650 at jpadgett@wsmonline.com.
Several in the management of Gaylord businesses do need to go. I would love some artists who "get it" to buy these business from Gaylord. These artists could show them how run a profitable
radio station and a profitable Opry. "Keep it real, promote it effectively, and they will come!"
GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT!! Why listen to a
"country" radio station when we can put in an Earl CD! Then they say country radio's dying, DUH!
