...for Bright AC. The Hot AC format, in theory, should differentiate itself enough from CHR to be noticeable. In the past year or so it has devolved down to a slower CHR chart, thus making many Hot ACs the "lame music station" in their markets. Every HAC has to take its own route to survive. We are taking the older route. Would like to hear other thoughts on the state of Hot AC and what it takes to make it as a format. I would also like to know what some good Bright AC stations are that I might be able to find on Mediabase. Thanks.

Bright AC-Dial-Global.com.
Once you are on (Dial-global.com) look on the top right "Our Programming" Then, on the left, look for
"Digital 24/7 Formats" Click on "Bright AC"
Once you found "Bright AC" scroll down, you can listen live by a free telephone number.
Personally I do not like the AC and HOT AC format because of one song that I hear. I do not like the song "Game Of Love" By: Mitchelle Branch. That is a very bad song. It is an insult for me to hear that song on (any) radio station, especially an AC station or HOT AC stations. AC Stations are supposed to be to listen at work, with your coworkers, in Doctors Offices...
That song is very bad because, (Love) is not supposed to be a game. Love is supposed to be of true happiness, and joy. Love is supposed to be respectfull.
Other than that, Bright AC-Dial-Global is very nice to listen to

At the end of this month (sometime between Christmas and New Year's), Dial-Global's Bright AC will cease to exist (at least in name). The JSN HAC format is being merged with DG's BAC to form a new 24/7 format called...Dial-Global Hot AC!
http://www.dialglobaltotal.com/overview.php?format=5
Looks like some of the DG staff will remain, with a few of the JSN jocks being added to the lineup as well. I'm not sure that there was that big of a difference between these two particular formats musically.
As an employee of a JSN Hot AC affiliate, I have spent the last few weeks tweaking the clocks and updating the imaging for the impending change. Unfortunately I have had plenty of time to do this, since business has been unusually slow for this time of year...
thank you for that information and websiteBanjomax said:

Most of those in icy's list are on mediabase.
I also like Beejus' approach to Hot AC (scroll thru the pages on here for his logs).
