Charlotte, N.C., Feb. 5 - Gaylord Entertainment Co. investor Gamco Asset Management, Inc. added Jonathan Dolgen to its slate of nominees for election to the company's board of directors at the 2009 annual shareholders meeting.

Dolgen is a senior consultant to ArtistDirect, Inc. and a principal in Wood River Ventures, LLC. He was the chairman and chief executive officer of Viacom from 1994 to 2004, according to a schedule 13D/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Gaylord announced late Thursday that its board will work with the company's shareholders to identify new independent director nominees to stand for election.

On Feb. 3, Gamco nominated for election Glenn Angiolillo, J. Peter Kline and Robert S. Prather Jr.

Angiolillo is president of GJA Corp., a consulting and advisory company.

Kline is the managing partner of Seneca Advisers LLP and former chairman and CEO of Bristol Hotels & Resorts.

Gamco beneficially owns 5,473,029 shares, or 13.38%, of Gaylord, a Nashville entertainment company.

In September it was reported that Gamco, a Rye, N.Y.-based investment firm, named Gaylord as one of 13 companies it believed would benefit from new nominations to their boards of directors.
