I've been listening to"The Standard". This kind of format would be ideal for SiriusXM. Siriusly Sinatra focuses on the artists. This channel plays a nice mix off Standards,a little Big band, MOR and soft oldies. Every song I heard was a hit.It's similar to what KMPC did in thee early 80's with their "Hit Parade" format.
HD radios are being included in newer cars. Maybe there will be renewed interest in the band. I may be one of the few with an actual Insignia HD radio which is qite good. WZEE in Madison,Wi. runs it on their HD2 channel. That's the hourly ID they give off the Iheart App.
In the last half hour I heard Bobby Darin,Al Martino,The Miracles,Elvis,Sinatra,Dean Martin,The Crewcuts,Doris Day,Louis Prima and Roy Orbison. It's a nice mix.
Obviously, it will never be on FM,but it might be a nice alternative on AM where IHeart has a cluster of stations. It sure would be better than a third sports station in a market.
