According to the National Enqurirer, the Country Queen still believes there’s time in her career to make an impact. The 77-year–old chart topper has decided to launch her own national television as a way to help her long-lasting legacy.

One source close to the situation told the publication, “It’s catching up to Dolly that she’s on the downside of her life now. She knows her music will live forever, but she loves the idea she will be in people’s homes every day – long after she’s gone -with Dolly TV.”

The tipster went on to say that not only is Dolly working on her first rock and roll album that should be released some time later this year, but she’s also really thinking about some of the projects she wants to complete for her television channel. This will include original programming and movies. Now, whether or not they will include original programs with the Jolene singer herself remains to be seen.
