BA president Allen Kepler comments, "Ranking among the top 25-selling recording artists in U.S. history, Kenny has made a huge mark on the music world. As he continues his illustrious recording career, hosting this new network show will deepen Kenny's relationship with his fans across the US. Working with Kenny is a dream come true for me personally."

Kenny G's musical career continues to flourish with last week's release of his CD "I’m In the Mood for Love… The Most Romantic Melodies of All Time," which entered the contemporary jazz chart at No. 1 (his 12th No. 1) and came in at No. 37 on the Billboard Top 200. G will embark on a tour that includes five concerts celebrating the King of Thailand's 80th birthday, as well as a U.S. swing, in January.
