Ryman Hospitality Properties has sold a 30% stake in Opry Entertainment Group — its entertainment businesses that includes Nashville's Grand Ole Opry — to NBCUniversal and a Comcast-backed investment fund, Atairos, for $293 million.
Why it's the BFD: Ryman wants OEG to be able to run separately from its main real estate business. The deal values OEG at $1.4 billion.
