Doug Quick’s Golden Classics, developed in collaboration with award-winning broadcaster Doug Quick under the Open-Source Radio Group (OSRG), is a carefully crafted classic hits format that celebrates the rich musical era from the late 1960s through the early 1980s. Designed to capture both the sound and spirit of heritage Top 40 radio, the format blends timeless hits with a subtle layer of classic radio presentation—prioritizing warmth, familiarity, and personality without feeling dated or overly produced. A distinctive feature of Golden Classics is its optional use of custom beginning and end tags for many songs in the library, allowing stations to enhance transitions, reinforce branding, and recreate the seamless, personality-driven flow that defined radio’s golden age, while still maintaining flexibility for different programming styles and automation systems.
