Adult Hits Radio Stations:
"Adult Hits" is a new format in the U.S. that is somewhat of a hybrid
of top-40 and classic hits. These stations play a wide variety of hits
from the past 5 decades, marketed primarily at adults in their 30's
and early 40's.
Combining classic rock and pop hits from the 70s and 80s along with more
contemporary hits of the 90's and today, most of these stations have a
"We Play Anything" motto and pride themselves on their spontaneity and
nonconformity to traditional radio formats. Many of these stations
will occasionaly play soul, country, alternative, or funk hits, although
the emphasis is on hits with an "Adult Contemporary" flavor.
Adult Hits stations can usually be identified by monikers such as
"Jack FM", "Bob FM", "Ted FM", etc.
