Opry, MySpace Team up for Underwood Performance

The Grand Ole Opry and MySpace are uniting to live stream an Opry performance with video for the first time this Saturday.

Opry performances between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. EST will be shown, including appearances by Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Rodney Atkins, Jake Owen and others.

Underwood will perform music from her just-released CD "Play On," including the fastest-rising single of her career to date, "Cowboy Casanova."

The Opry, on the air since 1925, bills itself as the world's longest-running radio show. It can be heard on 650 WSM-AM, SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio and opry.com.

Portions also are broadcast on cable TV.
