Kool Gold is a 24-hour music format produced by Dial Global. It's playlist is comprised of classic hit music in the mid 1960s to 1970s from artists such as Billy Joel, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, Rod Stewart and dozens more artists mainly targeted at listeners 45-54. It was known as The Oldies Channel until they changed their name to "Kool Gold" to avoid confusion with ABC Radio's "The True Oldies Channel".

Its competitors were "Oldies Plus" by Waitt, Classic Hits and Good Time Oldies by Jones, however those assets were absorbed by Triton Media Group, leaving ABC Radio's Classic Hits and The True Oldies Channel the only competitors. Quite likely, the Jones & Waitt assets will be consolidated into this network in months to come.
