XM will start airing weekly broadcasts of classic radio shows hosted by Bing Crosby, on XM's 1940s channel, beginning Sunday, December 30th.
"The Original Bing Crosby Radio Show" will feature episodes from the archives of the Kraft Music Hall and Philco Radio Time shows hosted by Crosby during the '40s. Bob Hope, Judy Garland, Al Jolson, Duke Ellington, The Andrews Sisters, Jack Benny, Peggy Lee, Danny Kaye, Groucho Marx, Lucille Ball and many others will be among the special guest stars featured in these classic half-hour broadcasts.
The show will air Sundays at 7:30pm ET on The 40's (ch 4), with the debut episode starting this Sunday. Encore broadcasts will air on Wednesdays at 10pm ET.
Interestingly, Sirius had a dedicated "Bing Crosby Christmas Radio" channel that ended only a couple days ago. The two are unrelated, I'm sure.
