oldies stations
Classic hits broadcasters
Radio stations that play popular music from past decades, typically rock and pop hits from the 1950s through 1980s.
The precise era shifts over time—what counts as an oldie keeps moving forward as audiences age.
My dad listens to oldies stations on his commute.
The format trades on nostalgia, targeting listeners who grew up with the music.
