Wheeling+Jamboree

The country's first country music radio program started in 1927, became a national sensation in the 30s thru the 70s, and still exists. The Jamboree has a good [|webpage] describing their history, including a page depicting their various venues over nearly 90 years. Here is a list of the theaters, auditoriums and office buildings used for the show.
