America’s Biggest TV Networks Just Made a Major Decision — And It’s Going to Surprise Millions
America’s biggest television networks are honoring Dolly Parton as the country continues to remember one of its most beloved entertainers.
Following Dolly’s death at 80, CBS and ABC aired special programming celebrating her extraordinary life and career, while NBC has scheduled its own hour-long special, Dolly: An NBC News Special, for Wednesday night.
The NBC special is scheduled to air August 26 at 9 p.m. ET, bringing Dolly’s remarkable story into homes across the country.
The television tributes look back at the music, unforgettable performances and personality that made Dolly an American icon. They also celebrate the generosity that became such an important part of her legacy.
For longtime fans, the programming offers another opportunity to remember the woman behind classics such as Jolene, 9 to 5, Coat of Many Colors and I Will Always Love You.
From Nashville to living rooms across America, Dolly’s music will be heard once again.
And for millions who grew up with her songs, tonight may feel less like another television special — and more like America’s chance to say goodbye.
