CULVER CITY, Calif., Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Get into the holiday spirit with getTV this December, as the network delivers a loaded lineup of marathons, stunts, and festive favorites, headlined by the rarely-seen Christmas special HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITH BING AND FRANK. The special will air throughout December with special broadcasts for Frank Sinatra's birthday on Friday, December 12, at 7 p.m. ET, and Christmas Eve at 11:30 p.m. ET. This Golden Age gem is the perfect start to the holidays, as two of Hollywood's top showmen deliver unforgettable duets of yuletide standards such as "Jingle Bells," "The Christmas Song," and "White Christmas."

Also in December, getTV presents a Humphrey Bogart marathon, as part of its month-long tribute to the Oscar®-winning actor, on Christmas Day at 6:30 a.m. ET. The career-spanning retrospective highlights eight of his most iconic films with a roster featuring Bogart as an expert arms dealer in SIROCCO, with Lee J. Cobb; Film Noir standouts DEAD RECKONING, with Lizabeth Scott, and THE HARDER THEY FALL; the 1932 romance LOVE AFFAIR; and the classic high seas drama THE CAINE MUTINY, among others.

getTV celebrates Ol' Blue Eyes on what would have been his 99^th birthday, with a special block dedicated to the inimitable Frank Sinatra on Friday, December 12. The night begins at 7 p.m. ET, with the swingin' Christmas gem HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITH BING AND FRANK; then, Sinatra shines as a smooth-talking player in PAL JOEY, with Kim Novak and Rita Hayworth; helps Spencer Tracy rescue a children's leper colony in THE DEVIL AT 4 O'CLOCK; and plots to kill the president in SUDDENLY.

Then, make a resolution to join getTV for "A Very Musical New Year's Eve," a super-sized 14-film songfest guaranteed to start your New Year off right, kicking off at 6:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, December 31. The countdown to 2015 includes such tuneful hits as CASTLE IN THE AIR, starring legendary crooners Frankie Laine and Billy Daniels; Mickey Rooney in ALL ASHORE; dance legend Fred Astaire in SECOND CHORUS; LADIES OF THE CHORUS, starring Marilyn Monroe; Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly in COVER GIRL; Betty Grable in THREE FOR THE SHOW; funnyman Danny Kaye as THE INSPECTOR GENERAL; and many more.
