    Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Reality, Cable, Gossip, News

    Jonas BrothersI couldn’t hum one Jonas Brothers song to you if my life depended on it—but I have a feeling I’ll become quite acquainted with their tunes soon.  The Disney Channel has announced big plans for the three siblings, which means a heavy dose of promotion will shortly follow.

    The cable network - already responsible for the popular franchise and that girl we know as - will now be giving the singing trio their own reality program.

    The series, currently titled Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream, will show clips of the guys in their daily lives—prepping for their concerts, interacting with family, etc.  The episodes are slated to air sometime this spring.

    The overexposure of the brothers will not be limited to this reality skein.  Disney already plans to feature the Jonases in a two-hour movie and a scripted series.
