The Hall of Fame in Media
During the facility's early years, a studio for XM Satellite Radio was housed in the museum's gift shop (it has since been moved to a private location across the street inside Bridgestone Arena). Also, Country Music Television broadcast its daily CMT Most Wanted Live program from the museum lobby in 2001 before moving to Opry Mills.

Famous quotes containing the words hall, fame and/or media:
“I was afraid the waking arm would break
From the loose earth and rub against his eyes
A fist of trees, and the whole country tremble
In the exultant labor of his rise;”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
