Sinatra to Host New Radio Show

Frank Sinatra fans soon will be able to hear Ol’ Blue Eyes host his own hour long radio on the new Frank Sinatra Sirius Radio station.

Although some hardcore fans may be too busy reveling in ecstasy upon hearing this news, most will be left scratching their heads and wondering how the famous singer, who passed away in 1998, will be able to pull this off.

Sirius Satellite Radio announced today that they have partnered with Frank Sinatra Enterprises to produce “Siriusly Sinatra,” a 24-hour station devoted to the “music, time and spirit of Frank Sinatra.”

“The Chairman’s Hour” will be hosted by the Chairman of the Board himself, created by the Sinatra family and Sirius out of archival spoken word and music performances. The station will feature songs spanning Sinatra’s career, as well as rare concert performances, special programs and a show hosted by the singer’s daughter, Nancy.

Sinatra’s name was previously used for XM Radio’s standards station, “Frank’s Place” until the license expired last month. That station is now known as “High Standards.”
