What (specific) stations would you consider Adult CHRs?

By Adult CHR, I'm saying "CHR/Hot AC hybrid" and not "Hot AC with high rotations".

WILI FM seems to be one. A lot of Open House Party affiliates are usually ones as well. Also WZYP, KSYN, 96.5-East Coast Hit Music (whatever that call letter is.)

Mix 108/Duluth is "Hot AC" but hugely overlaps with stations like KDWB, KCLD, Y94 (KOYY), Z104/Madison, and is more CHR heavy and playing rhythmic crossover than KS95 or Mix 94.9 (KXMK). It seems more of a CHR/Pop that leans Hot AC. However, they still do play songs from the 90s and 2000s once in a while. It used to run Open House Party.

Is 96.5 in Australia?

I'm thinking that Adult CHR is more likely to play a current song than a recurrent, in relation to a Hot AC. On the other hand, it would be less likely than a CHR to add something "edgy". It used to be that Hot AC was more of a return to the original AC format and wasn't particularly "edgy" at all and there was more of a place for an Adult CHR instead of a Hot AC but the latter evolved into being more "edgy".

KRBE in Houston is another example. They have a strong affinity for Maroon 5 (moreso than the likes of Z100 and KIIS-FM) to the point that they would play their mid-2000s songs. Besides that, 3-5 year old songs tend to take up a good chunk of their playlist.

Kiss 108 in Boston is throwback heavy, though I don't know if I would call them Adult Top 40.
