Frank Sinatra born 100 years ago 12/12/1915, will any station tribute him ?

F

freqlost

This day is a Saturday.
A belated tribute to such a great would be a big fail imo.
Maybe WPLM could cancel the 80s show for that date and have Ron on instead like old times.

Who else would do it ?
 
Probably locally Ron Della Chiesa on one of WGBH's stations. Of course, Sirius has Seriously Sinatra all day every data.

Actually, all this weekend (Dec.11-13), Sirius/XM is unlocking Ch.s 5 (50s on 5), 71 (Siriusly Sinatra), 73 (40s Junction) and 148 (RadioClassics), for a “Sinatra 100 Free Listening Weekend”:

40s Junction, 50s on 5, RadioClassics celebrate Frank Sinatra’s 100th

Whoopieee!
Also, I donʼt know if it is just a goof with me, or what, but Ch.173 (The Verge), the Canadian alternative rock channel—to which I see no possible connection to Sinatra :confused:—is also unlocked at this time!

6-10 pm FRANK SINATRA CENTENARY SALUTE (time approximate)
Frank Sinatra carried on the great Italian vocal tradition within the field of American popular music. Born a century ago (December 12, 1915-May 14, 1998), he captivated first the bobbysoxers, and then, with a change of approach, he exemplified the cool young man of the 1950’s and 60’s. As clear enunciation and a lyrical musical line gave way to noisy and often chaotic rock in the popular arena, Sinatra’s art kept its position among connoisseurs of the true popular vocal art. We’ll hear a selection of his finest recordings.

Actually, it was the featured song in the 1955 TV production of "Our Town" and was a big hit then. It was resurrected for "Married with Children" decades later.

Do you happen to have "I Believe I'm Going to Love You" seque-ing into 'The Only Couple on the Floor"?
