OVERVIEW

This booklet groups stations in major U.S. cities according to categories helpful to youth leaders. Beginning in junior high and continuing through high school, there is a decrease in TV viewing and an increase of radio listening. Radio is listened to mostly for music, but not entirely.

The following categories of stations are listed in this book:

• Pop
• Top 40
• Rock
• Oldies
• Country
• Spanish
• R & B
• Jazz
• Classical
• Public
• College
• Religious
• News
• Talk
• Sports

You will immediately spot some overlap in terms of stations you know. There are also obvious regional preferences. Become acquainted with the most popular stations among your young friends. Then think and talk about how this medium can best be processed with young people.
