Rest in peace Ralph. https://tulsaworld.com/news/article_a3d895eb-5fc6-5de6-b961-6fc4dd50bf35.htmlNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ralph Emery, who became known as the dean of country music broadcasters over more than a half-century in both radio and television, died Saturday, his family said. He was 88. Emery passed away peacefully of natural causes, surrounded by family, at Tristar Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, his son, Michael, told The Associated Press. He had been hospitalized for a week. Beginning his career at small radio stations and then moving into television as well, Emery was probably best known for his work on the Nashville Network cable channel. From 1983 to 1993, he was host of the channel’s live talk-variety show “Nashville Now,” earning the title “the Johnny Carson of cable television” for his interviewing style. From 2007 to 2015, Emery hosted a weekly program on RFD-TV, a satellite and cable TV channel. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007.

Met him in Nashville on the Ralph Emery show with Shotgun Red. Was in the audience, for his show and he hung around after the show and talked to who ever went down to his stage. Nice guy. RIP Ralph

I watched him many a Saturday night on various country shows. Mostly in the 1970's and early 80's. Those were good times and Ralph was part of it.

I remember when TNN, Tennessee Nashville Network was good to watch, then it sold to some hippy schitbirds and wasn't worth a damn.
I think they named it The National Network, no more hunting/fishing shows, just a bunch of jive.

I was on his show way back around 87 or 88. I won an archery tournament and was on his show to shoot against other winners.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I watched his show in the mornings before school with my mother. I was sorry to hear about him.
