"Exclusively Bing Crosby" radio channel.
I recently downloaded a new radio-player app, and when I typed "Bing Crosby" into the search box I discovered a radio channel called “Exclusively Bing Crosby”, which seems to be based in Dubai! It’s apparently one of any number of “Exclusively…” channels from the same source devoted to various singers. There are some annoying computer-voiced announcements in between the tracks, but they play a pretty varied selection. So far this morning I’ve heard “Some Of These Days”, “The Preacher” from Bing & Satchmo and the Bing/Chevalier medley from the March ’61 Oldsmobile TV Special!
Just Google "Exclusively Bing Crosby"...

Quite a find Jeremy.
A straight search on Google in the way you describe finds them embedded in a number of internet radio servers, though the direct link to the Dubai base will not work for me. The three servers that I tried all worked well though.
For those not yet familiar with the concept such servers act as gateways to internet radio all over the world, sorting by language, musical genre, etc.
The Bing material includes all eras and both radio and record.
They do keep proclaiming free of commercials only to offer commercials for themselves, sometimes just the one whispered word "Exclusive" and otherwise to make comparisons between themselves and Spotify.
