Classic Hits
Encyclopedia : C : CL : CLA : Classic Hits
Classic hits is a popular music radio format, a variation on the classic rock theme that provides most of the playlist of classic rock with an addition of contemporaneous R&B and pop hits as well, striking a balance between the mostly '70s-focused classic rock genre and the more broad-based oldies format. A major market example is WROR in Boston, Massachusetts.
The term is also sometimes used to describe the format known within the radio industry as variety hits, e.g. the Jack FM brand and its relatives.
