You can program Classic Hits (or similar music formats) using classic category setups based on music library decades — or do this, and distinguish yourself.

Playing power songs for your entire demo, yet focusing your efforts on your core target is what we've covered in part 1 of this series for Gold-oriented music radio. The example formats shown were audience-category based, instead of using plain decades or eras, but there are even more ways to build smart categories and rotate them effectively.

  • how to align your jingles with your scheduled songs
  • and much more
