In June 2012, due to reorganizations at Dial Global, the Dial Global Local 24/7 formats were fully integrated into Dial Global's portfolio of formats, and "Dial Global Local" ceased to exist as a brand name. However, most of the former Dial Global Local formats are still offered to affiliate stations in the same manner in which they were previously offered. Genuine Classic Rock is no longer offered under that name, but continues as a Local version of Dial Global's Classic Rock format. By 2020, it’s still being used today
