Why are radio stations offline a certain type of music in the USA and not in Europe?

Posted by admin on May 20th, 2010 and filed under radio stations | 2 Comments »

When overseas we found that music was mixed up on different radio offline channels. Why do stations have certain music on certain stations here in the USA? We heard oldies with new songs and it was a good mix on commerical radio in Europe. When did formatting the stations start here?

We here in The UK have dedicated or specialized stations that will play only
RnB or Jazz or Classical,etc
We also have many stations that play an assortment of music.-these tend to be most of the commercial stations.
