Right after it, in which you talked about Beatlemania's forcing Sinatra to change the way he marketed himself. It did no such thing.
The venues you listed had always been natural Sinatra venues. If anything changed the likelihood that you'd hear a Sinatra song on the radio, it was the advent of rock 'n' roll in the mid 1950s, and the segmenting of radio into rock stations and non rock stations.
He did pretty well in the Beatles/1960s era, though, even on Top 40 stations, at least in America. Remember "Strangers in the Night," "Somethin' Stupid," and the execrable "My Way?" ( You're probably aware of how much Sinatra hated that song. ) I don't know how high it charted in the United States, but I remember the sensational "That's Life" getting a lot of airplay on the radio in 1966, and yes, on rock radio.
To younger generations ( I'm 70, I don't know about you ), The Beatles were a monolith which held unchallengeable sway over record sales in the 60s. This is nonsense, as proven by the fact that Louis Armstrong's recording of "Hello, Dolly," knocked The Beatles out of #1 in the spring/summer of 1964. And yes, it got a lot of airplay on rock stations, as well as did Barbra Streisand's recordings in the next year of "People," and the novelty song attributed to Fanny Brice which may have had a different title, but which I always think of as "I'd Rather Be Blue ( thinking of you, I'd rather be blue ooh ooh ooh, than be hah hah hah hah happy with somebody new ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh! )"
I remember hearing Vince Guaraldi on "rock radio" in that mid 60s period, too.
