Encyclopedia > Great American Country

Great American Country (or GAC), is a Nashville, Tennessee-based country music cable television network. As MTV Networks shifts its CMT channel towards a "country culture" format, GAC is making inroads as the network that plays more music than CMT, about 40 percent more, according to recent data from Nielsen Media Services. GAC is the exclusive television home of the legendary Grand Ole Opry. In March 2006, the channel carried a historic two-hour concert "Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall," marking the first time an Opry troupe had performed on the famed New York stage since 1961.
