In the old days, a radio format was the way the station's program director arranged the sequence of programming elements to make up the day's schedule.
After the "golden age" of radio, when most programming was provided by the big networks, individual radio stations developed local disc-jockey shows interrupted every half hour with news.
Over the years, formats have evolved to the point where radio programming is carefully designed to reach a specifically defined segment or "niche" of the population, based on such demographic criteria as age, income, ethnic background, etc. A format may refer to the overall programming (i.e.

 Commercial Radio Formats
A commercial radio format is a collection of types of music that are similar, from different artists.
A radio station is much like a record label in the respect that they usually go after the formats that are hot at the time.
They change formats for a number of reasons, but primarily it is because they want to change their advertising “draw”, and attract a different and hopefully more profitable audience to the station.

Radio stations that are listened to by the same set of people tend to be clustered together, and radio programs that are listened by the same set of people are also clustered together.
If we look at the radio program types, we find that they are grouped into four major segments (popular music in the bottom-left quadrant, Latin American music near the top, European/North American cultural music (classical, jazz/blues) to the bottom right and news/information/talk on the right near the horizontal axis).

 Freeform (radio format) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freeform, or freeform radio, is a radio station programming format in which the disc jockey is given total control over what music to play, regardless of music genre or commercial interests.
Although ordinarily the freeform radio format is incompatible with commercial radio, an exceptional case is Indie 103.1 FM of Santa Monica and Newport Beach, California.
Many freeform stations are small and lack corporate backing, and therefore have relatively weak radio transmitters (especially around metropolitan areas where corporate radio signals dominate), a problem that has caused numerous broadcasters to transition to Internet radio, pirate radio or both such as FRSC (Free Radio Santa Cruz).

HD Radio also claims to have CD-quality sound on FM and FM-quality sound on AM stations, as well as better reception and the possibility of broadcasting data such as song titles and artists names, like satellite radio does.
Lee, one of the last individual radio station owners in a major market, said HD radio is costing his station now, but he expects it to be profitable in five to seven years.
The upgrade to HD Radio is far cheaper than launching a new radio station, and involves adding equipment that allows digital signals to be piggybacked onto a station's regular frequency.

 Evaluation of Radio News Formats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Because of the often political nature of talk radio and the related processes of selective perception and selective retention, it is presumed that one's favorite radio talk show would be rated more highly than radio talk shows in general.
Additionally, listeners to both all-news and talk radio were asked to describe what differences, if any, they perceive between the two formats, and to rate both formats for three factors: accuracy, presenting all sides of a story, and presenting news that you can trust.
For talk radio, listeners showed less variation in ratings among the three characteristics: it received a 7.4 rating for both accuracy and presenting news that you can trust, and a 6.9 for presenting all sides of a story [Chart 10].

DRM, a digital AM radio system that operates on broadcast bands below 30 MHz, is broadcast by more than 65 stations worldwide, though not in the United States, where Senger believes the battle over digital radio is far from over.
