Boot Camp Underway!
Week 1
This week's featured channels with XM Radio descriptions:
40s on 4 XM channel 4
The Forties and More...On Track Number Four
It's swing time! Benny Goodman is the King of Swing and Doris Day is singing with Les Brown's band of renown. The Great Depression is behind us, but World War II has ushered in a new era of sacrifice. On the home front, Rosie the Riveter is keeping up the war efforts by day and keeping the home fires burning by night.
Hear it all on The 40's - the great singable, swingable songs; the dance shows that brought those smart hotel ballrooms right to your living room radio console; news about our boys overseas. Revel in the heyday of the big bands and the hits of the 30's and 40's. And take time out for a laugh with Spike. Jones, of course.
Frank's Place XM channel 73
American Songbook
A great American art form has a dedicated XM channel. Frank's Place celebrates the incomparable American song style with 24/7 programming under the leadership of legendary radio personality Jonathan Schwartz. It provides an unmatched showcase for the music and lyrics that have earned these songs a special place in the world of music.
XM has been granted exclusive access to priceless recordings from the Sinatra Archives and you can hear these in all their historical glory on Frank's Place. With help from the Sinatra Family, XM presents the music and legacy of Frank Sinatra in a way never heard before in American broadcasting. You'll hear landmark interpretations and rarely-heard historic performances. Together, XM and the Sinatra Family will work to make sure his monumental presence continues to be felt as an inspiration to all who loved his music.
Radio Classics XM channel 164
The Golden Age of Radio
The passionate voices and chilling sound effects take you back to another age. Experience the audio magic of legendary old time radio dramas, mysteries, comedies and variety programs.
Who's on first? Well, we've got the likes of the genius comedy routine of Abbott & Costello.
You can join the nostalgic experience of the greatest comedy team of George Burns and Gracie Allen. These former vaudevillians, whether onstage or off - played it for love, for laughs and always for keeps. Or there's Jack. . .Jack became one of the biggest names in radio with The Jell-O Program starring Jack Benny. For thirty minutes, each Sunday night at seven o'clock, Jack and his gang of regulars would hit the airwaves with "their version" of current films, with a bit of music, and always with lots of laughter.
And we can't forget about Dragnet, first heard in June 1949, on NBC.
Everything from classic murder mysteries, radio noir, and historical dramas to comedies, thrillers and science fiction. You'll paint a picture of the characters, we'll provide the dialogues and set the stage.
Experience it again, or for the very first time, on Radio Classics.
