Adult contemporary radio stations

Adult contemporary (AC) radio stations play a mix of popular, easy-listening music that appeals mainly to adult listeners. They feature a blend of current hits and familiar favorites from past decades, often emphasizing melodic, soft rock, pop, and ballads. The programming is designed to be soothing and non-intrusive, suitable for work or relaxing environments. AC stations tend to avoid very loud or aggressive music, aiming instead for a warm, polished sound that appeals to a broad adult audience. This format is popular for its pleasant, accessible music that balances contemporary trends with timeless appeal.
