With many Adult Contemporary stations in recent months having tweaked their formats to be "hotter", with more recent and uptempo songs, I wonder if the time is coming where there could be a "spin-off" format which for lack of a better term can be called Classic Adult Contemporary.
What exactly is Classic Adult Contemporary (or "Classic AC")??
Think of the music that AC stations played during the 1980's and 1990's; perhaps even into the early 2000's.
This would target older listeners, and would probably be heard on the AM dial in most places. It also might be more likely to be broadcast by stations in markets where the percentage of people over 50 is higher than the national average (read: Cape Cod, parts of Florida, parts of Nevada, and parts of Arizona, etc.).
