Classic rock
Classic rock was originally conceived as a radio station broadcasting format which evolved from the album oriented rock (AOR) format in the mid-1980s. In the United States, this rock music format now features a limited playlist of songs ranging from late 1960s album tracks to current songs by artists associated with the loosely-defined "classic rock era."
Classic Hits format
A variation on the Classic rock theme is "Classic hits", which provides most of the playlist of classic rock with the 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 105.7 in Boston.
