Donny Osmond launching national radio show Jan. 18

Singer Donny Osmond is coming back to the airwaves as he launches a radio show on the heels of his "Dancing with the Stars" win.

A music show hosted by the 52-year-old Las Vegas headliner debuts Jan. 18 on about 60 stations across the country.

"I've been up and down for the last 47 years. Up's better, let me tell you," the entertainer said. "It is a roller coaster ride and you're not up all the time, and when you are up, you ride that wave and hopefully you're enjoying that wave, because I'm certainly enjoying this one."

Osmond said the daytime show is aimed at a wide audience, but primarily women who listen to adult contemporary or classic hits during the day.

"It really gives ownership to the listener, and that's what we're trying to do is get them through the workday with some great music and some fun stories, little anecdotes and a very positive outlook in the five hours I'll be programming," Osmond said.

The show will include some personal anecdotes and stories from the entertainer, who is enjoying a resurgence with his appearance on the hit ABC dance series, the Donny and Marie show with his sister at the Flamingo Las Vegas and an album debuting next year.

"It's an interesting ride to be in show business," Osmond said. "It's an interesting challenge to get a career but it's even more interesting to keep that career going and thankfully I've hooked up with some great people."
