this was the year the Grand Ol Opry made their TV debut, growing out from the 50,000 watt "clear channel" Nashville WSM radio station that was broadcast across 30 states.
circa 1956, that was from only 48 possible.
watching the last few minutes of program info, my take on this is it only comes on once a month. judging by the livestock feed commercials was likely right after the monthly farm report in rural TV station broadcast schedules.
what was referenced when the nice waitress told Elwood Blues, "Oh, we got both kinds of music. we got country AND western."?
notice that all of the cast are either wearing the latest from the Jed Clampett collection, or Gucci cowboy costumes.
also found it interesting that only 15 seconds of the hour are allowed for mandatory FCC station identification. the good old days? seems every stop in current TV programing has at minimum a network logo stealth appearance. sometimes even showing up in the screen corner during program.
