Alternative Radio Stations

Alternative radio stations formats, also known as Alternative Rock, Progressive Rock and Modern Rock, evolved in the 80's, and early 90's, propelled by the success of bands whose music had previously been limited to college radio stations.

For the most part, Alternative stations feature bands that play modern from the last 6-12 months, much of which has its roots in "punk", "grunge" and "metal", and is targeted for an audience of teenagers, young adults and college students.
