Doug Quick's Golden Classics
About This Format
Doug Quick’s Golden Classics, developed in collaboration with award-winning, longtime radio and television broadcaster Doug Quick, is a carefully crafted classic hits format that celebrates the rich musical era from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, with a strong focus on the 1970s. Designed to capture both the sound and spirit of heritage radio, the format blends timeless hits with a subtle layer of a classic radio presentation that prioritizes warmth, familiarity, and personality without feeling dated or overly produced.
A distinctive feature of Doug Quick's 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 automation systems and offering options for format blending of locally produced productions.
Doug Quick’s Golden Classics is available in two distinct versions: a broad-based format spanning the late ’60s through the early ’80s, and a focused all-’70s edition that zeroes in on the core of the era.
