[edit] Lists of Artists
The consensus on the classic rock page was that lists of artists within a genre are marginally useful at best and subject to considerable POV criticism. Accordingly I've removed the list of artists added by the most recent anon for that reason -- since Classic Hits is essentially a hybrid format anyway one can get a pretty good idea of what kind of music the format plays from related genres (which is why I originally wrote it into Classic Rock to begin with).

[edit] Classic Hits vs. Adult Hits
I'm not sure why someone would think there's no meaningful difference. "Adult Hits" (I was under the impression that "Variety Hits" was the accepted term for the format) shares much of the same playlist, but also plays more contemporary material, and (this is most important) has no DJs. Classic Hits is limited in time to roughly the same period as Classic rock but with a wider selection of genres, and generally has DJs. I'd say there's a significant difference that boils down to the period of time covered by the playlist, if nothing else. Haikupoet 18:44, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, the majority of the articles that link here are using the term "classic hits" as being synonymous with adult hits or Jack FM. And no, adult hits stations are not necessarily DJ-free; some are, true, but it's not a defining condition of the format. There are lots of adult hits stations that still have jocks.

- Also, the inappropriately-capitalized form Classic Hits exists as a redirect to adult hits, not as a redirect to here. Bearcat 04:39, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
