Fabulous Fifties
What a decade! The 50’s began smoothly with the crooners but ended with a rock & roll bang. Mix in some country, pop, show tunes, folk and swing, and you’ve got some pretty memorable music.
The Sinatra Lounge
Here’s the Great American Songbook performed by some of the best singers the world has ever produced. Frank’s got his name on the show title, but this show is all about the music. One great after another and the best versions we could find, ranging from the slowest ballads to finger-poppin’ swing. This music was cool before the refrigerator was even invented.
The Elvis Hour
Elvis is still in our building. The King recorded an amazingly wide range of music, and you’ll find it all here along with loads of interesting information about his life and times.
Middawn with Peter O'Callaghan
Enjoy "The Best Songs Of All Time" from midnight to 5:30am with special tracks and lifestyle features, and stay up to date with the latest news and weather.
