	Contemporary hit radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Top 40 (radio format).
		Contemporary hit radio, or CHR, is a radio format that is common in the United States and Canada that focuses on playing current and recent popular music as determined by the Top 40.
		There are several subcategories, dominantly focusing on rock, pop, or urban music.

	Radio Station Format Guide
		AAA playlists are much broader than the limited playlists of hit radio, and therefore depend on album tracks as well as on music released or designated as singles.
		Contemporary Hit Radio stations tend to concentrate on specific music styles, such as Rock or Urban, or a range of styles, such as Rock/Pop/Dance or RandB/Rap/Dance.
		Some CHR stations play a significant amount of hits released during the past ten or fifteen years, particularly if there are insufficient current hit releases which fall within the station's stylistic range.

		CHR stations often have problems with audience loyalty so those spot clusters are schedule to maximize quarter hour retention.

	Radio: Audience
		There were theories that Internet radio streaming, which makes it possible to listen to radio on the computer, at work or at home, and to pick from among many more stations than just those in the listener's own city, would radically transform radio.
		While this report is primarily concerned with the state of radio journalism on over-the-air stations these satellite networks are enabling radio listeners an increasing amount of control over the content they listen to thanks to a finely delineated formatting scheme.
		This may mean that even though radio is perhaps the most narrowly targeted communications medium, it could still involve one component of news consumption that has been unique to broadcasting, the idea that listeners might come across information they did not know they would or should be interested in.

		A talk host at the CBS Radio Network's Seattle affiliate was fired just days after he called for CBS anchorman Dan Rather to resign or be fired for airing forged military records in a bid to hurt President Bush's reelection chances.
		Calling into talk radio stations on the list and asking them how they feel about being censored may also be a good tactic.
