Classic hits is a relatively new radio station classification for music ranging from the 60s to the 80s. Although sometimes mistaken for adult hits, it is more accurate to say the label encompasses what used to be called ìOldies,î a term that has fallen out of favor with both the listening audience and advertisers because it implies ìold fashioned.ì Two radio personalities, Gary Guthrie, a consultant, and Dan Mason, an executive, are believed to have originated the term ìclassic hits.î They created this format because they wanted to move away from adult contemporary music to upbeat music from the oldies and the classic rock formats. They believed that this new format of classic hits, would attract baby boomer listeners who wanted neither the doo-wop tunes of the oldies stations nor the angst and rebellion of heavy metal, but who would appreciate something that was both nostalgic and bubbly. Classic hits, then, is not a tightly defined category, and includes a wide assortment of musical times and genres: from the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s to more contemporary rock style music.
