Frank Sinatra Epitome of American Popular Music

Frank Sinatra is the epitome of American popular music and the recording artist is mentioned in the same line of standards as Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. The Sinatra myth was constructed around the "American dream" of a successful career, popularity and money, even though he was born into a poor family of Sicilian immigrants. Even as a young professional he had a brush with the stage, once it was his own jazz quartet the Hoboken Four, another in a successful New York orchestra that he performed together with Harry James (in 1939). Sinatra won the greatest popularity in the 40s.

 

As the singer in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra (1940-42), his songs dominated on the American charts. The brilliant career of the handsome Francis Sinatra was "piloted" (which was never confirmed) by the Sicilian family members. "Mafioso Sinatra" as a singer was called in the New York tabloid newspaper, placed a dozen or so hits on different popularity charts, such as the hit "I'll Never Smile Again" that many weeks was number 1 on the weekly "Billboard" charts.

 

Sinatra's radio program "Hit Parade" was the most popular broadcast in the U.S. during the war. When U.S. soldiers returned to their homes, the sweet music of Sinatra has lost its patriotic expression, but despite that, a dozen new songs appeared on bestseller lists.

Speculation about mafia connections and control of the Sicilian family, resulted, during the late 40's, in the collapse of the career of Frank Sinatra. The contract with Capitol Records and the working relationship with jazz big band led by Nelson Riddle was terminated and his style of music and differently and in a more negative light.

Sinatra recorded a lot, performed in a lot of concerts and had given film a try (ex. "Guys and Doll" 1955, "High Society", 1956, "Can-Can", 1960, The Man with the Golden Arms", 1955). Although Sinatra's songs no longer occurred in droves on the charts, he was still recognized as a great singer.

Big hit songs became "Strangers in the Night," "Granada," "Something Stupid" (recorded with his daughter Nancy) and Paul Anka's standard "My Way" (122 weeks on the Billboard charts). An extensive discography included dozens of Sinatra's albums from the mawkish, banal hits, the orchestras of Harry James, the ballad standards to the commercial hits. A perfect example of the universality of his music is the Sinatra album "Frank Sinatra & Sextet-Live in Paris", a concert recording from 1962, during which the singer sings, perfectly his greatest hits: "Chicago", "Imagination", "Moonlight In Vermont", "My Funny Valentine", "Night and Day" and "I've Got You Under My Skin".

 

It was actually the hit "I've Got You Under My Skin" that was the beginning of a chapter in Sinatra's career, because that song created the idea to do a duet and that is how the very successful "Duets" and "Duets 2" albums were created. It was because of one song that he was able to invite to Bono - the lead singer of the rock band U2, Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, Charles Aznavour, Lisa Minnelli, Stevie Wonder, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Bette Meddler and Diana Ross to sing in duets with Sinatra.

 

Francis Albert Sinatra was born on December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey, and died on May 14, 1998 in Los Angeles. He was, without a doubt one of the best singers in the world, an absolute superstar of music and film. Although his career on several occasions was met with difficulties and collapses, it was already in the middle of his long career when he was becoming a living legend.

 

His work is divided into several time periods, corresponding to the record companies, that he was a part of (Columbia, Capitol, Reprise, Qwest and Capitol again). Together with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and other fellow celebrities, he had created the legendary Rat Pack - a group of friends appearing together on stage (especially in Vegas), in films, playing together and practicing together (they also gambled together).

 

Sinatra is known as a pop artist, but the vast majority of his work is dominated by jazz and swing. He sang songs that were sometimes later reinterpreted by other great artists, such as "My Way", "Strangers in the Night", "Fly Me to the Moon" and "I've Got You Under My Skin". Frank was also an excellent actor an Oscar winner.

 

He sang almost to the end of his life, though his voice was getting weaker, and the lyrics had to be shown on a teleprompter. His death was a huge event in the U.S. that created a void in the music industry and brought many fans to tears.

On Sinatra's death, something amazing happened - in Las Vegas, all the lights extinguished, as a sign that the king left the city. Also in New York City the Empire State Building lit a blue color (referring to the nickname Sinatra - "Ol 'Blue Eyes").

Sinatra had many nicknames, but most of its position as a lead singer says the nickname "The Voice" - which simply means "voice".

According to legend, Sinatra for much of his life carried, in his pocket a handful of small coins. This started with the kidnapping of his son, when the hijackers ordered that contact be only through telephone booths (requiring coins). Despite the arrest of the kidnappers he still always had coins with him.

Sinatra knew personally almost all the U.S. presidents that held office during his life.

As one of his friends, Sammy Davis Jr. was black; Sinatra worked (and largely succeeded) on the abolition of racial segregation in hotels and casinos in the state of Nevada.

Throughout his life, Sinatra was associated with having contacts with the Mafia, even according to some he was the figurehead Johnny Fontane in The Godfather movies. But no one was ever able to prove these allegations or even display concrete evidence.

 

The last studio albums that Sinatra released were two of the "Duets" series. On these albums he sings with artists such as U2's Bono, Barbara Streisand, Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin and Julio Iglesias.

Sinatra died surrounded by his family. His last words were: "I'm losing" ("I'm down").

 

According to legend, Sinatra was buried with the flask of Jack Daniels and a handful of coins.

 

He had three wives; one of them was the actress Mia Farrow.

 

It is difficult to assess the number of CDs recorded and released by Sinatra. Along with edits, compellations and greatest hits, this quantity must be counted in the thousands.

 

Sinatra and his big hit "My Way" created the popular "Sinatra doctrine". It talked about leaving the freedom of the former republics of the USSR ("My Way" - "my way").

 

Today's "Ocean's" movie series is a remake of the movie with Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack of the 60s.

 

The tombstone bears the title of Sinatra, one of his songs - "The Best Is Yet to Come" ("The best still ahead of me"). It is also the last song he has done publicly (three years before his death).

 

He was nervous and despotic, hated photographers, he could be ruthless to his enemies, on the other hand he was a great philanthropist, he bestowed his friends with valuable gifts, he also often selflessly helped strangers.

 

As one of the first stars he had his own jet.

There is a song from Sinatra's early career, which the artist sings partly in Polish.

"Ever Homeward", was many years later dug up from the archives and at the request of Sinatra played during a concert in support of Poland during the Polish martial law of 1981.

The public opinion was informed about Sinatra's death though his family. Placed on the website a statement was printed in an audio file with a very touching song, "Softly as I leave you."

patriotic song lyrics for children

Recognizing American Patriotic Music through "Yankee Doodle" & "America the Beautiful"

Patriotic music encourages feelings of national unity. They can come in the form of national songs, hymns and even military themes. Below are two examples of popular patriotic songs in the US.

"Yankee Doodle"

Who among us have not heard of this song? It s not only a popular children's song, it is also one of America's patriotic songs. As a matter of fact, it is the state song of Connecticut.

The problem with the song is that despite its popularity, there are those who scrutinize it for the way it made fun of American troops. Thus, this song still became a part of American patriotism.

We can trace the origin of this song to old English folk music. It emerged prior to the American Revolution. It is how the British mocked American soldiers. This is how the term "yankee" came about as a negative term for the americans. For "doodle", the term implies "simpleton" or "fool".

With regards to its inclusion in the American Revolution, when the Americans or "Yankees" began taking the British into the Revolution, they were also able to take command over this song. They started singing it proudly as a way to taunt English soldiers.

"America the Beautiful"

This is an American folk song that is often referred to as the national hymn of the US. This piece was adapted from Katharine Lee Bates, a Wellsely College English professor. She wrote in the year 1893 during her trip to Colorado. It mentions the beauty of the country she is traveling to. According to her, she got her inspiration from her visit to Pike's Peak.

The original version of this piece, only had four verses. After a while, they expanded it to eight verses and revised the lyrics. It was used by The Congregationalist to commemorate Independence Day in the year 1895. It was Samuel Ward, a New Jersey composer who gave music to the poem. A combination of both the poem and the music was first heard in 1910.

Though there was talk that "America the Beautiful" may replace "The Star Spangled Banner", there's no indication that this would even happen - nor if it is even considered. Still, the song projects the physical beauty and breadth of the United States.

history

Main article: History of the New Orleans Saints

Early history

The brainchild of local sports entrepreneur Dave Dixon, who also founded the Louisiana Superdome and the USFL, the Saints were actually secretly born in a backroom deal brought about by Congressman Hale Boggs, Senator Russell Long and NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle. The NFL needed congressional approval of the proposed AFL-NFL merger. Dixon and a local civic group had been seeking a NFL franchise for over 5 years, and had hosted record crowds to NFL exhibition games. To seal the merger, Rozelle arrived in New Orleans within a week, and announced on November 1, 1966 that the NFL officially had awarded the city of New Orleans an NFL franchise. Named for the great jazz song most identified with New Orleans "When the Saints Go Marching In," the franchise was announced in a great coincidence on November 1st, which is the Catholic All Saints' Day. Boggs' Congressional committee in turn quickly approved the NFL merger. John W. Mecom, Jr., a young oilman from Houston, became the team's first majority stockholder. The team's colors, black and gold, symbolized both Mecom's and New Orleans' strong ties to the oil ("black gold") industry.[citation needed] Trumpeter Al Hirt was part owner of the team, and his rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In" was made the official fight song.

That first season started with a 94 yard opening kickoff return for a touchdown by John Gilliam, but the Saints lost that game 2713 to the Los Angeles Rams at Tulane Stadium. Their first season record was 311, which set an NFL record for most wins by an expansion team. However, they could not manage to finish as high as second in their division until 1979. That 1979 team and the 1983 team were the only ones to even finish at .500 until 1987.

One of the franchise's shining moments came on November 8, 1970, when Tom Dempsey kicked an NFL record-breaking 63-yard field goal to defeat the Detroit Lions by a score of 1917 in the final seconds of the game. This record, although equaled 29 years later by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos, has yet to be broken.

In 1980, the Saints lost their first 14 games, prompting local sportscaster Bernard "Buddy D" Diliberto to advise Saints supporters to wear paper bags over their heads at the team's home games; many bags rendered the club's name as the "'Aints" rather than the "Saints." The practice of wearing a bag over one's head then spread rapidly, first to fans of other poorly performing teams within the NFL, and ultimately to those of other American team sports, and has become a firmly established custom throughout the United States.

Mora era

Current Saints owner Tom Benson acquired the franchise in 1985, and hired Jim Finks as general manager and Jim Mora as head coach. That combination provided the Saints with their first-ever winning record and playoff appearance, going 123 in 1987, which had one fewer game than normal due to a players' strike. Another playoff berth would follow in 1990, and the club's first division title came in 1991. During Mora's tenure the Saints made the playoffs four times, with teams marked by strong defenses led by the "Dome Patrol" linebacking corps, but they were never able to win a playoff game. Mora coached the Saints until the middle of the 1996 season, when he stepped down halfway through a 313 season.

Ditka era

After the end of the 1996 season, ironically as Diliberto had suggested before Mora's resignation, former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka was hired to replace Mora. Although this initially generated a lot of excitement among Saints fans, Ditka's tenure ended up being a failure. The Saints went 610 in their first two seasons under Ditka (1997 and 1998). During the 1999 NFL Draft, Ditka traded all of his picks for that season, as well as the first-round and third-round picks for the following season, to the Washington Redskins in order to draft University of Texas Heisman Trophy running back Ricky Williams in the first round. Ditka and Williams had a mock wedding picture taken to commemorate the occasion. However, Ditka, most of his coaching staff, and general manager Bill Kuharich were fired at the end of the 1999 season due to the club's 313 record.

Haslett era

Jim Haslett held the post from 2000 to 2005. In his first year, he took the team to the playoffs but lost to the Minnesota Vikings a week after beating the St. Louis Rams for the team's first ever playoff win. After winning the 2000 NFL Executive of the Year Award, General Manager Randy Mueller was fired between the 2001 and 2002 seasons without explanation by Benson. The Saints failed to make the playoffs in 2001 and 2002, although in the latter year they had the distinction of beating the eventual Super Bowl XXXVII champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in both of their regular season meetings, only the second team to do so in NFL history.

In 2003, the Saints again missed the playoffs after finishing 88. The 2004 season started poorly for the Saints, as they went 24 through their first six games and 48 through their first twelve games. At that point Haslett's job appeared to be in jeopardy; however, he managed to win the three straight games leading up to the season finale, leaving the Saints in playoff contention in the final week of the season. In week 17, the Saints defeated division rivals Carolina; however, the Saints needed other results to break their way and when the St. Louis Rams beat the New York Jets the Saints were eliminated despite having beaten the Rams, who finished with the same record. The Rams, Saints, and Vikings all were 88, with the Rams having a 75 conference record, Saints 66, and the Vikings 57. The Rams received the #1 wild-card due to having the best conference record out of the 3, followed by the Vikings due to the 3316 loss handed to the Saints in Week 3. Haslett was fired after the 2005 season, in which the Saints finished 313 and did not play one regular season contest in New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina. On January 17, 2006, the Saints hired Sean Payton as their new head coach.

Effect of Hurricane Katrina

Main article: Effect of Hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans Saints

Due to the damage Hurricane Katrina caused to the Superdome and the New Orleans area, the Saints' scheduled 2005 home opener against the New York Giants was moved to Giants Stadium. The remainder of their 2005 home games were split between the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and LSU's Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Payton era

2006: Homecoming and postseason

For detailed information on the team's 2006 season, see 2006 New Orleans Saints season.

On March 23, the Saints announced that the team's two 2006 preseason games were to be played at Shreveport, Louisiana and Jackson, Mississippi.

After a $185 million renovation of the historic stadium, on April 6 the Saints released their 2006 schedule, with all home games scheduled to be played at the Superdome. On September 19, Saints owner Tom Benson announced that the team had sold out the Louisiana Superdome for the entire season with season tickets alone (70,001 seats), a first in franchise history.[citation needed]

The September 25, 2006 home opener, the first home game in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, was won by the Saints 233 against the Atlanta Falcons, who were undefeated in the 2006 season at that time. The attendance for the game was a sellout crowd of 70,003. Meanwhile, the broadcast of the game was ESPN's highest-ever rated program to date, with an 11.8 rating, and viewership by 10,850,000 homes. It was the most-watched program for the night, broadcast or cable, and was the second-highest rated cable program of all time at the time. Green Day and U2 performed "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "The Saints Are Coming" , respectively, before the game. The game received a 2007 ESPY award for "Best Moment in Sports."

On December 17, 2006, the Saints clinched their third division title and their first NFC South title in franchise history. For the first time in Saints' history, they clinched their NFC South title on their home field. Sean Payton became the second consecutive Saints coach to win a division title in his first season. After a loss by the Dallas Cowboys to the Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Day 2006, the Saints clinched a first-round playoff bye for the first time in franchise history.

After the first-round bye, the Saints beat the Philadelphia Eagles 2724 in the Superdome in the 2006 Divisional Playoffs. No team had ever had such a poor record in the prior year (313) and then gone on to a league or conference championship game since the 1999 St. Louis Rams who advanced to win their first Super Bowl after being 412 the season before. Since the Saints' only previous playoff win was in the wild card round, this was the farthest the Saints had ever advanced at the time. The victory was only the second playoff win in team history.

The season ended on January 21, 2007 when the Saints lost 3914 to the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship game.

2007

Main article: 2007 New Orleans Saints season

The Saints announced that for the second year in a row, the Louisiana Superdome had sold out every ticket for the season. Additionally, all luxury boxes had been sold out for the season.[citation needed] Both of these statistics are particularly surprising given that the city-proper has about 300,000 people or 150,000 fewer people than July 2005 population data (though the metro area still accounts for 1.2 million people).[citation needed].

The first game of the season was against the defending Super Bowl XLI champion Indianapolis Colts. The Saints lost this game, 4110, and lost their next three games. In one of these three games, against the Tennessee Titans, the Saints lost running back Deuce McAllister for the season with his second career (second time in three seasons) ACL tear. After winning their first game, against the Seattle Seahawks, two weeks later, the team went on a four-game winning streak to bring their record to an even 44. After reaching 77, the Saints lost their final two games to finish 79.

2009

Main article: 2009 New Orleans Saints season

The 2009 season was the team's most successful season, which culminated in the franchise's first league championship win against the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. After becoming 130 with their win over the Atlanta Falcons, it marked the Saints' best start to a season in its franchise history. The result clinched an NFC playoff berth, a bye in the first round of the playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints also set the record for the longest undefeated season opening (130) by an NFC team since the AFLFL merger, eclipsing the previous record (120) held by the 1985 Chicago Bears. The team advanced to the 2009 NFC Championship game where they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 3128 in overtime to win their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. Television ratings for Super Bowl 44 were the highest for any TV program, sports or otherwise, in history. Since the win, two media writers have referred to the Saints as "America's Team", as their successful bid to win the Super Bowl was seen by many to represent the city's resurgence after the devastating Hurricane Katrina.

Logos and uniforms

Logo (2000resent)

New Orleans Saints uniform combination

New Orleans Saints alternate uniform: 2002 season

Except for minor modifications, the Saints' logo and uniforms have basically remained the same since the club debuted in 1967. The team's logo is a fleur-de-lis (a symbol of the City of New Orleans and of France's Bourbon monarchy), while its uniform design consists of gold helmets, gold pants, and either black or white jerseys. Minor changes to the uniform stripes and trim have been made throughout the years. The team wore black helmets during the 1969 preseason, but NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle barred the Saints from using the helmets during the regular season, since owner John Mecom, Jr. did not notify the league office of the change.

The Saints predominantly wore white at home when the club played at Tulane Stadium from 1967 through 1974 (except in 1969 and 1970), forcing opponents to wear dark colors in the subtropical climate of New Orleans. When the surface at Tulane Stadium switched from natural grass to AstroTurf in 1971, field temperatures became hotter still. In Archie Manning's first game, in the 1971 season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, temperatures on the field reached as high as 130 F (54 C). The heavily favored Rams wilted in the stifling heat, and the Saints claimed their first-ever victory over their NFC West rivals, 2420, on Manning's 1-yard quarterback sneak on the last play of the game.

The Saints switched to white pants in 1975, coinciding with the team's move from Tulane Stadium to the Superdome. One year later, they started to wear black pants with their white jerseys, a move influenced by coach Hank Stram, who introduced red pants to the Kansas City Chiefs' uniforms in 1968. In an October 3, 1976 home game against the Houston Oilers, Hank Stram used the Saints' road uniforms, the white jerseys and black pants. The Saints lost that game 3126. During the 198182 seasons (Bum Phillips' first two seasons as coach), the team wore white jerseys with black pants at home, but reverted back to the black jerseys and white pants for 1983. They reverted back to wearing gold pants with both their black and white jerseys in 1986 under new coach Jim E. Mora. From 1986 through 1995, the sleeves of the jerseys and sides of the pants featured a logo with a fleur-de-lis inside an outline of the state of Louisiana. The logo replaced the striping pattern that had been on the uniforms since the team's inception; save for color variations, the striping pattern was similar to that used by the Washington Redskins (until 1979), Green Bay Packers (until 1997), and Cleveland Browns (still in use as of 2007[update]), which is likely why the change was made. That logo was removed in 1996 and replaced with a fleur-de-lis on both the sleeves and sides of the pants.

From 1996 through 1998, the Saints returned to gold numbers on both the white and black jerseys, but complaints about the numbers on the white jerseys being too difficult to read forced the numbers on the white jerseys to be changed to black in 1999. The Saints wore black pants with a wide gold stripe with their white jerseys in 1999, but following a 313 season and the dismissal of coach Mike Ditka, the black pants were mothballed by new coach Jim Haslett.

2000s

In 2000, the Saints won their first playoff game as they hosted the St. Louis Rams and after having a better road record than home record, they wore their white jerseys, helping them get a 3128 win over the defending champion Rams. The defining play of the game came with the Saints clinging to a three-point lead with minutes to play. The Saints punted to the Rams' Az-Zahir Hakim (who would play one season for the Saints in 2005), who fumbled the punt deep in Rams' territory. Brian Milne recovered for the Saints, who then ran out the clock to preserve the victory.

In 2001, they wore their white jerseys in the first six home games. During that same year, they primarily wore black pants with both their white and black jerseys. They became the first NFL team to wear all-black uniforms in a week 5 road game against the Carolina Panthers, and again in weeks 16 and 17 in home games against the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers.

In 2002, the Saints wore black pants with their white jerseys (except for the final road game, a 2013 loss in Cincinnati when they went back to the gold pants), and gold pants with their black jerseys, a gold alternate jersey, and a 1967-style throwback uniform. But one season later, they stopped using the alternates and again reverted back to wearing gold pants with both their black and white jerseys.

The team introduced a gold alternate jersey (worn with the black pants) during a December 15, 2002 game versus the Minnesota Vikings, a 3231 loss, but have never worn them since then. Because of the metallic gold's bright color, the gold jerseys were considered the "light" jersey in the game, so the Vikings wore their purple home jerseys as the "dark" colored team. One team must wear "dark" and one team must wear "light", the only exception being if both teams are wearing throwback uniforms, such as Thanksgiving Classic games. Today only the New England Patriots have a "light" jersey (their alternate, a bright metallic silver) that isn't white in which the other team would wear their colored, or "dark" jerseys against them since the third jersey rule was implemented in the NFL in 2002.

The Saints also introduced a 1967-style throwback uniform in a 2320 win in week 13 (December 1) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This also was never worn again but re-introduction of the jerseys in stores suggests they may make a comeback as the Saints' alternate uniform.

In 2006, to honor their return to Louisiana, the Saints wore a patch on their uniforms with an outline of the State of Louisiana with a fleur-de-lis superimposed, similar to the logo from the 1980s.

The Saints originally planned to wear white jerseys at home for the 2006 season, but during the season, the players voted to wear the black jerseys at home after the second home game. Since the team had informed the NFL office that they planned to wear white jerseys at home, each of the Saints' remaining home opponents would have to agree to New Orleans' request. The Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals did not agree to the switch, forcing the Saints to wear white jerseys for that game.

Starting in week 13 of the 2006 season, the Saints wore white jerseys with black pants and in a Week 16 game in The Meadowlands against the New York Giants (a 307 Saints win), the Saints wore the black pants with their road white jerseys. The Saints later stuck with that combo in the NFC Championship in Chicago.

The Saints wore white jerseys for their first four home games of 2008. Three of the four games the white jerseys with black pants combination were worn at home, while the white jerseys with gold pants combination were worn for the first of those four games. The Saints chose to wear the all-black combination for the October 26 game at Wembley Stadium in London vs. the San Diego Chargers, in which New Orleans was the designated home team. They also wore black jerseys with black pants for the rest of their home games at the Superdome following the game at London.

The Saints wore their white jerseys at home for the first three home games of 2009. All with the white jerseys and gold pants combination. They have worn the all-black combo the last two home games. For its run through the 2009 playoffs, the team wore the gold pants.

New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame

The Saints Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization created by and for fans of the team to protect, preserve, promote and present the history of the franchise. The Saints Hall of Fame is located at 415 Williams Boulevard in the Rivertown section of Kenner. Open from 9 am-5 pm Tuesday through Saturday, the Hall of Fame features exhibits and memorabilia covering the entire history of the Saints from their formation through the current season. Due to building damage received during Hurricane Katrina the Hall of Fame is temporarily located at Gate B in the New Orleans Superdome and can be visited for free at every Saints home game. Fans can view videotapes on Saints history and the Saints Hall of Famers as well participate in interactive exhibits throughout the Hall. The facility, which originally opened on July 16, 1988, was expanded to twice its' original size in January 2004. Busts and paintings of each of the inductees along with their career highlights are one of the focal points of the museum, which is dedicated to preserving the history of the Saints franchise. New Orleans and Green Bay are the only two NFL franchises with a team Hall of Fame facility.

The Saints' flagship station is WWL 870AM (FM Simulcast on WWL 105.3FM), one of the oldest radio stations in the city of New Orleans and one of the nation's most powerful as a clear-channel station with 50,000 watts of power. Jim Henderson and Hokie Gajan form the broadcast team. Most preseason games are televised on Cox Sports Television and WVUE (Channel 8), a station which has been owned by a consortium led by Saints owner Tom Benson since mid-2008. Tim Brando and Solomon Wilcots call the preseason action.
