Format panels: Airplay formats and station lists
Format describes the type of programming on a radio station. Most formats are based on a combination of genre, release age and intended audience.
Billboard and Luminate maintain format panels: lists of radio stations associated with a particular format. (Some stations appear on more than one panel). We track radio airplay on the stations on these panels to inform format-specific Airplay charts. Format filters are also available for Airplay data in CONNECT.

Back to How It Works
U.S. and Canada radio formats are listed alphabetically. Use the dropdowns to see station panels for each format. Click "View larger version" at bottom right to open a table in a new window and enable more view options.
Tables may take a few minutes to load.
AAA = Adult Album Alternative.
For best results, open dropdowns one at a time. If a format doesn't populate, click "View full table" or refresh the page.
