Sirius Satellite Radio has announced that the new weekly show "The Chairman's Hour" on Siriusly Sinatra (ch 75) will debut on July 7th at 5pm ET, with a special preview broadcast on July 4th at 5 pm ET.

The preview broadcast on July 4th will feature a set of Frank's patriotic songs.

"The Chairman's Hour" is 'hosted' by Frank Sinatra himself using rare material culled from the Sinatra family archives. The show, spanning decades, is reflective of his body of work, emotional composition, and respect for those who he collaborated with personally and professionally.

Siriusly Sinatra, which launched earlier this year, is produced by the Sinatra family and also features regular blocks of Sinatra's music, archival performances and is the home of "Nancy For Frank," a weekly show hosted by Nancy Sinatra.

It sounds like "The Chairman's Hour" required an incredible amount of work in order to produce it. I'll definitely be tuning in.
