This is a big one. According to a report from Bloomberg, Ryman Hospitality Properties is exploring the sale of its 70 percent stake in Opry Entertainment Group, the company that owns the Grand Ole Opry House and the Ryman Auditorium. They\u2019ve hired Morgan Stanley to find a buyer, and this comes during the Opry\u2019s 100th anniversary year. The sale wouldn\u2019t just include those two iconic venues. Opry Entertainment Group also owns WSM Radio, the station that launched the Opry back in 1925, as well as Blake Shelton\u2019s Ole Red locations, Luke Combs\u2019 Category 10 bar in Nashville and ACL Live in Austin. The remaining 30 percent of OEG is already held by NBCUniversal and a private equity firm. Ryman Hospitality confirmed they\u2019re \u201cevaluating potential opportunities,\u201d but stressed no agreements have been reached and there\u2019s no guarantee a deal will happen. Executive Chairman Colin Reed pointed to the rise in global popularity of country music as a reason for the timing. No matter what happens, this has Nashville paying very close attention. The Opry isn\u2019t just a venue. It\u2019s the heart of country music. And whoever ends up owning it will be holding something that can\u2019t be measured in dollars.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m Brailey, and that\u2019s your Music City Minute.<\/p>\n<div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\">\n<div style=\"width: 100%\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kygo.com\/team-kygo\/#\/\/\">\t&#13;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.kygo.com\/kygo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/KYGOEmail-830x100-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"desktop-signup\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\">\n<div style=\"width: 100%\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@985KYGO\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kygo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Subscribe-Banner_KYGO_300x250.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"mobile-signup\"\/>\t&#13;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kygo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Subscribe-Banner_KYGO_830x100.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"desktop-signup\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source kygo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Country music\u2019s most sacred stage might have a new owner.
