Though that was back in the 90s, when "classic" meant 60s to 80s, so stuff from the 90s itself probably wouldn't do as well. I definitely wouldn't do well on Take That songs. I can't even remember what station used to do that.

Definitely not the one I was thinking of, as I don't listen to Today FM on Saturday morning or any other time, in truth, any more. This was an evening show back in the mid 90s.
Tim Kelly used to be on evenings on 98FM from 1989 up until the end of 1997. He did the 9 at 9 at 9pm. I think that's the one you are thinking of. He moved to Today FM in early 1998 and brought hat idea with him and it eventually evolved into the 9 at 11 on Today FM.
I might give this a go.
