oldies station

Vintage hits broadcast

An oldies station is a radio station that plays popular music from past decades, typically rock and roll and pop hits from the 1950s through the 1980s.

The exact era shifts over time—what qualified as oldies in 1990 differs from today's oldies programming.

My dad always has the oldies station on during road trips.
