Format panels (CA): Canada 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 in the U.S. and Canada 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, location and market filters are available for Airplay data in CONNECT.
The below formats are Canada-only. U.S. format panels are available here.

Canada radio formats are listed below. 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.
For best results, open dropdowns one at a time. If a format doesn't populate, click "View full table" or refresh the page.
