WYSP in Philadelphia became the nation's very first classic rock station in the spring of 1981, when Frank X Feller, then general manager, received a suggestion and a reel to reel tape with a sample of what the Classic Rock format would sound like from account executive Jim Sacony. The featured artists on the reel to reel were The Yardbirds, The Zombies, Young Rascals, Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Steppenwolf and The Byrds. Frank then directed program director and midday jock Dick Hungate teamed up with station consultant Lee Abrams to more effectively compete with two traditionally programmed and very entrenched competitors... WMMR and WIOQ. The actual on-air describer classic rock was thought of in a strategy session at WYSP's then One Bala Plaza offices, in which other adjectives such as timeless and vintage also were discussed by Hungate and Abrams. Typically, classic rock plays rock songs from the mid 1960s through the 1980s. Some of the songs overlap with those played on oldies stations, but classic rock also focuses on bands and artists that aren't considered radio friendly and therefore are usually not played on oldies stations. Unlike AOR radio stations, which played all tracks from albums, classic rock plays a much more limited playlist of charting singles and popular album tracks from artists and bands. Some classic rock stations devote time to lesser known bands, album tracks and B-sides, paying homage to their AOR roots. Classic rock stations typically fit into one of three categories: traditional/early (60s-80s), late (70s-80s with some songs from the 90s and early 2000s) and active (a mixture of new songs with classic rock hits; these stations typically aren't considered classic rock). Classic rock is mainly tailored to a male, adult demographic, but also has a significant fan base in the female and younger demographics as well. Classic rock in recent years has been expanded to include glam metal and progressive rock acts. These artists are often put on late classic rock stations (such as XM Classic Rewind) while the more traditional artists are put on early classic rock stations (such as XM Classic Vinyl). Even late classic rock stations, for the most part, have avoided playing 1990s rock such as early alternative rock and grunge because of the dramatic change in the tone of rock music during that time frame. At the same time, some classic rock stations have started focusing on classic alternative and modern rock hits as well as traditional classic rock songs (such as KLOS in Los Angeles), adding bands and songs typically avoided on classic rock stations such as Nirvana, Sublime, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Even though new bands sometimes mimic the classic rock sound (The Black Crowes), they are not considered a true classic rock band because they are in the wrong era (not early 1960s to early 80s). However, classic rock bands from the original era who still produce new music outside of that classic rock era (like The Rolling Stones) are grandfathered in and are still defined as classic rock (as long as their style hasn't changed).
