At Radio, A Very Partial Motown Story

For a decade, after the 1983 Motown 25 special and the release of The Big Chill six months later, ‘60s Motown was one of the safest, most mass-appeal things an AC or Oldies station could play. Then the center of the renamed Classic Hits format became first the ‘70s, then the ‘80s. Mainstream AC stations moved away from the ‘60s altogether, then the ‘70s as well. Even a decade ago, when we last looked at the presence of R&B in the Classic Hits format, Motown was considerably diminished not just by the passage of time, but also by the increasing rock lean of the format.
