CHRs with Gold Variety?

I am looking for CHRs (and even Hot ACs that "behave" like CHRs) with a lot of gold variety between songs. Many times, it seems like there is so much music that has been played throughout the years, but much of the time it is only played for a little while before a new batch of songs comes in. I am looking for a station which plays a lot of gold in their lineup. Know any?
 
Yes, WZYP here in Huntsville plays a LOT of gold titles, especially during the day. They behave more like a Hot AC during the day. They even have a "flashback lunch" hour Monday through Friday that plays 80s and 90s, as well as 3 hours of flashback hits on Friday mornings.

Any Cumulus CHR, though that may be changing now that Jan Jeffries has left the company. Jeffries was committed to programming the company's CHR stations with heavy gold variety. Personally I don't think gold-based CHRs sound very good. I think you should either go Hot AC with a wider playlist going back 20 years or stick with what's current. Too much gold on CHR, especially from the 3-5 year old timeframe, simply makes the station sound dated and for me, makes me less likely to listen.
 
Y101 Jackson has a few golds, notably "Mo Money, Mo Problems" and "All the Small Things". Each M-F at 4:15, they play a gold song that you may not even hear on a CHR now. Yesterday, they played "Bittersweet Symphony".
