Depending on which radio format a radio station chooses, the style of music, the topics and also the proportion of speech is defined. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The most common formats at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AC<\/strong> is the abbreviation for Adult Contemporary. This format is probably the most widely used format. For more information, see the term AC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UC<\/strong> is the abbreviation for Urban Contemporary. This format has a low speech component. News also does not play an overriding role. The target group for this format is between 18 and 34.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHR<\/strong> is the abbreviation of Contemporary Hit Radio. This radio format plays current music titles that are usually no older than 6 years old. CHR&#8217;s target group is 14 to 29 years old. Because only current titles are played here, you have a more limited selection of titles and the playlist repeats itself more quickly. The speech portion is kept short and concise here and often punctuated by jokes and competitions. <\/p>\n<p><strong>AOR<\/strong> is the abbreviation for Album Oriented Rock. However, you can find less AOR in Germany. The target group for this radio format is between 18 and 45 years old and predominantly male. The titles that are played are oriented towards rock bands. Partly also lesser-known bands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MOR is the abbreviation for Middle of the Road.<\/strong> The listeners of this radio format are between 35 and 55 years old. Musically, the festival is aimed at a broad audience. This is the reason why neither completely new titles nor completely old titles are played at MOR. Programmes may be aimed at specific target groups.<\/p>\n<p>Radio stations that play <strong>oldies<\/strong> up to the 70s are usually listened to by listeners over 40 years old.<\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, the <strong>Melodie-Schlager<\/strong> radio format plays mainly melodic hits. The target audience of this channel is between 30 and 59 years old.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of <strong>information or news radio stations<\/strong>, the focus is on current news.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class='flex_column av-2tq2zg-6f0b47788786db3209dcb9d281a3a76e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-8  avia-builder-el-no-sibling ' >\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ljq5i9kr-7c7a39cdbf45ded7cb9ccd76be9ecb4e\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-ljq5i9kr-7c7a39cdbf45ded7cb9ccd76be9ecb4e:hover{\nopacity:0.8;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n-webkit-transition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n-moz-transition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n-ms-transition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n-o-transition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href='https:\/\/radiodatacenter.net\/glossar\/#glos'  class='avia-button av-ljq5i9kr-7c7a39cdbf45ded7cb9ccd76be9ecb4e avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue830' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Back to the glossary<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":8504,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8501","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 -
