Dick Bartley's Classic Hits was a syndicated weekly, four-hour, classic hits program written, produced and hosted by Radio Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Dick Bartley. It was syndicated across the country by United Stations Radio Networks and internationally via Radio Express.
Twenty featured songs from a particular month — alternating between 1970s and 1980s from week to week — were featured and played countdown-style, from No. 20 to No. 1. The Billboard Hot 100 chart is the standard for this ranking.
Dick Bartley's Classic Hits was based upon two previous oldies programs Bartley hosted, the countdown series Classic Countdown (previously known as American Gold) and the live request series Rock and Roll's Greatest Hits. In July 2017, the programs were combined, taking on its latest name.[1] The program was pre-recorded (Rock & Roll's Greatest Hits, while live for most of its run, had transitioned to being pre-recorded shortly after joining United Stations).
On December 15, 2021, Bartley announced that the show would end during the weekend of January 1-2, 2022.[2]
