Opry Could Change Hands Soon

Ryman Hospitality Properties is exploring selling its majority stake in Opry Entertainment Group, putting iconic Nashville landmarks like the Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium, WSM Radio, and Blake Shelton’s Ole Red bars on the market. While the company proudly calls these brands historic pillars of country music, they’ve brought in Morgan Stanley to assess buyer interest — but no deals are confirmed yet. Ownership remains at around 70%, and Ryman says they’ll stay involved regardless. With the Opry being the longest-running radio show in the U.S. and a sacred symbol of country music, any potential sale has fans and insiders watching closely — but for now, it’s all still very much up in the air.
