This is great news for Opry fans and country music fans alike!!!
The Grand Ole Opry is coming back for all to see!! The famous Opry is coming back to television in 2020 thanks to Circle! Circle is a new media network made possible by Opry Entertainment Group and Gray Television, inc.
The info, taken from a press release, the network will feature original programming centered around country stars and their lives on and off the stage. Its lineup includes a weekly television broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry, the show that made country music famous. A different way to catch events from the Opry House beyond WSM’s radio broadcasts brings even more exposure to Grand Ole Opry members.
“Circle is all about fun, discovery and accessibility for country music fans,” said Drew Reifenberger, the general manager of Circle Media, in a press release. “Circle will align fans and artists by creating intimate experiences and camaraderie of a close-knit circle of friends.”
Planned programming for the Music City-centric network includes entertainment news, documentaries and movies, plus licensed programming and archival content.
The network will debut in early 2020 on Gray-owned TV stations. Additional distribution partners will be announced in the coming months. Circle plans to launch a companion digital premium entertainment service in the late spring of 2020.
