The venerable country music radio broadcast started in Nashville, Tennessee on November 28, 1925. As NPR's Netta Ulibi reports, it's still one of the longest-running radio broadcasts in U.S. history.

Over the years, the Grand Ole Opry would host powerhouse country performers, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Hank Williams, who debuted on the fabled Ryman Auditorium stage. Johnny Cash met his wife June Carter there.
Even after a move to the Grand Ole Opry house, it was a spiritual home to performers like Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys, performing there in 1985, the same year the Grand Ole Opry started broadcasting shows on PBS.
