WBBG-FM in Youngstown/Warren, OH used to call themselves Big 106.1 Youngstown/Warren's Greatest Hits but recently they changed their branding to "Oldies 106.1" with new jingles and a new website.

No doubt about it, Oldies is slowly making a comeback.

Oldies is a brand name just like Coke is...

If that's true, then how is the brand defined?  There are lots of us who consider '50s & early '60s music to be "oldies".  But we certainly don't hear that music on commercial radio anymore.
