Today, there are a few stations that identify as classic hits, such as WROR-FM in Boston and WJJK in Indianapolis, but whose playlists have more in common with classic rock. The classic hits format as it is known today began to take shape in the mid 2000s when oldies radio stations started having audience and ratings issues. [10]
It should be noted that the term classic hits is not always clearly defined from market to market. As a result, some of these stations are more properly known as variety hits or adult hits such as the Jack FM brand; there is considerable overlap between the formats. Classic hits also overlaps with classic rock and oldies in some markets.
The station changed formats and call letters in the autumn of 1986, switching to classic hits with the motto "Classic Hits 104.1, The All New WHTT". The station was one of the first to take the "classic hits" name in the United States, and did so due to the lack of a classic rock station in Buffalo after WGRQ (96.9 FM) switched to adult contemporary music.
