Classic Hits Radio is a 24-hour Classic Hits radio network. Classic Hits Radio, formerly known as "Pure Gold" and "Oldies Radio", plays a selection of well-tested pop and rock hits from the late 60s, 70s and 80s. "Classic Hits Radio" is one of two satellite oldies formats offered by Cumulus Media Networks, the other being Scott Shannon's "The True Oldies Channel," which is automated and voice-tracked entirely by Shannon and features an older playlist of music.
Nationally recognized DJs include Maria Danza, Steve Gunn, Smokin' Kevan Browning, Randy Fuller, Dwayne Dancer and Larry King (unrelated to the talk show host). As of September 16, 2011, it is distributed by Cumulus Media Networks and is one of the original Satellite Music Network stations.
In November and December 2010, Classic Hits shared its channel space with its sister network The Christmas Channel from the day before Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day.
