Classic Country (Local Version) (formerly known as Country Classics was a 24-hour music format produced by Dial Global, formerly by Waitt Radio Networks and then by Dial Global's Dial Global Local division. Its playlist is composed of classic country music released from the 1970s to the 1990s by artists such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Kenny Rogers, etc. that mainly targets listeners ages 35-54.
In June 2012, due to reorganizations at Dial Global, the Dial Global Local 24/7 formats were fully integrated into Dial Global's portfolio of formats, and "Dial Global Local" ceased to exist as a brand name. However, most of the former Dial Global Local formats are still offered to affiliate stations in the same manner in which they were previously offered. Country Classics is no longer offered under that name but continues as a local version of Dial Global's Classic Country format.

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or classics:
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“For what are the classics but the noblest thoughts of man? They are the only oracles which are not decayed, and there are such answers to the most modern inquiry in them as Delphi and Dodona never gave. We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
