I had occasion to listen to the live "grand old opry" on WSM (650 KHz, can be
heard most of eastern US, maybe more).  I was astounded with the degree of
similarity to PHC.  The powdermilk bisquit commercials and jingles are *very*
similar to the "martha white" flour ones on the Opry.  The music is somewhat
different (they don't get many Norwegian accordian players on the Opry). The
jokes, monologues, guest commedians and general format are very similar however.
I think there broadcasts from the opry house in Nashville at various times.  I
think the one to listen to is the Saturday night one about 9 or 10 p.m EST.
Dust off your AM radio after PHC and give it a try.
