Rhythmic Adult Contemporary is a format similar to Rhythmic Top 40 radio. Like many Adult Contemporary radio stations, Rhythmic AC stations often would not play rap. It usually gears toward an older audience ages 25 to 54. Often stations using this format play a great deal of Disco music from the 1970s and early 1980s, Dance/Pop music, Dance/Freestyle music of the 1980s and house music of the late 80's/early 1990s. These stations often compete with Rhythmic Top 40 stations as well as other Adult Contemporary stations.
Rhythmic AC stations also play "Classic Dance Flashbacks" of Dance music ten years or older. Some radio stations usually play Soft Dance music on weeknights. News and weather announcements play a major part in this format unlike their younger counterparts. Also, many radio stations using this format often play a great deal of Disco music heavily on weekend nights.
