From February through December, "Tuesday Night Opry" is also aired live. Wednesday shows are typically presented in the summer months, while an "Opry Country Classics" program sporadically airs on Thursdays, devoted solely to older artists and broadcasting from Ryman Auditorium. The Opry provides a fourteen-piece house band for performers should they not have a band of their own. The Opry can also be heard live on "Willie's Roadhouse" on channel 59 on Sirius XM Satellite Radio, and the program streams on WSM's website. ABC broadcast the "Grand Ole Opry" as a monthly series from 1955 to 1956, and PBS televised annual live performances from 1978 to 1981. In 1985, The Nashville Network, co-owned by Gaylord, began airing an edited half-hour version of the program as "Grand Ole Opry Live." The show moved to Country Music Television, also owned by Gaylord, where it expanded to an hour, and then to the Great American Country (GAC) cable network, which no longer televised its "Opry Live" show after both networks channel drifted towards generic Southern lifestyle programming. Circle, a new over-the-air digital subchannel network operated by Gray Television and Ryman Hospitality Properties, resumed telecasting the "Opry" as its flagship program when it launched in 2020. RFD-TV carries reruns of Opry telecasts under the title "Opry Encore". Regular performers at the Grand Ole Opry can be inducted into the organization as a member; the Opry management, when it decides to induct a new member, directs an existing member to publicly ask them to join, usually during a live episode. As the Opry is a running series, membership in the show's cast must be maintained throughout an artist's career, through frequent performances, and expires when the performer dies (in the case of duos, membership continues until both members die, with the survivor allowed to maintain membership after the other's death; more recent protocol has allowed performers who are incapacitated or retired to maintain Opry membership until they die, with five such members holding that status as of 2019—Tom T. Hall, Hal Ketchum, Barbara Mandrell, Jeanne Pruett, and Randy Travis, though Travis still makes limited appearances). The Opry maintains a wall of fame listing every member of the Opry in the show's history, including those that have died, lost or relinquished their membership. Receiving Opry membership is considered an honor that is similar in prestige to a hall of fame induction, with the caveat that a number of prominent country musicians never received it.
