WAIZ (630 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format to the Hickory, North Carolina, United States, area. The station is currently owned by Pacific Broadcast Group, Inc. and identifies itself as "63 Big Ways." The format recreates a format resembling a 1960s Top 40 station by using the jingles and other airchecks from WAYS (which was the original "Big Ways"), a legendary Charlotte Top 40 station from the 1960s. Since the callsign and frequency of the original "Big Ways" was different, the jingles and airchecks used are those that feature the words "Big Ways" rather than the actual callsign or frequency. WAIZ's music is drawn largely from the late 1950s and early 1960s, an era largely ignored by many oldies stations in their efforts to appeal to Baby Boomers. It often refers to it

WAIZ's music is drawn largely from the late 1950s and early 1960s, an era largely ignored by many oldies stations in their efforts to appeal to Baby Boomers. It often refers to its music as "Real Oldies". Prior to Fall 2014, the station carried broadcasts of The Elvis Only Hour, an hour of music exclusively from "The King." This program aired on Saturdays and Sundays at noon, but has since ceased production. (en)
