Ryman Hospitality’s WSM-AM Nashville (650) host and Grand Ole Opry announcer Bill Cody was honored with a star on Nashville’s Music City Walk of Fame on Wednesday.

The Grand Ole Opry is preparing for its 99th birthday bash, which will include three evenings of Opry performances and special daytime and evening events from October 10 to 13.
Four inductees, recognized for their efforts to preserve Nashville's musical legacy, will be honored with the 105th, 106th, 107th, and 108th stars on the Music City Walk of Fame.
“The move to the Acuff House is a significant milestone for WSM Radio, especially as we recognize country music’s transformation from a domestic genre to a global phenomenon."

"I don't think they felt comfortable that Ryan Clark would be able to hold that in. So, they let him go for the day and then pulled him off air before he had a chance."
