sp1814, I lived through the 60s, and Cliff managed just fine then. Some weeks he'd be on the 'hit parade', some weeks it'd be the Beatles, or the Doors, or all of them at once and Engelbert Humperdinck and the Archies too. The 60s were really quite capacious. It doesn't sound like this new station will be giving a rounded picture of the decade.
There was a survey about a year ago in which someone calculated how much programming various stations and networks devoted to their playlists. Rather to my surprise, Gold gave most time over to them. In other words, the one network that isn't limited by its commitment to keeping up with new music, the one that has allowed itself freedom to mine 30 years of music to play, is also the one that's restricting itself the most to a narrow view of the past. As a wrinkly, I find this all a bit sad. It wasn't all about the Beatles.
