Another in a succession of country music shows to work well for CTV, a CTV series called Grand Old Country was hosted by Ronnie Prophet, and formed a weekly half-hour setting in which a series of Canadian country singers and musicians could and did strut their stuff to most entertaining effect.
The show made its series debut in the CTV schedule on Thursdays at 7:00pm in September 1975, and in its final year, 1980-81, was retitled The Ronnie Prophet Show. It was produced for CTV at CFTO-TV, Toronto
