Hot talk

Hot talk is a radio format involving a form of talk radio geared predominantly to a male demographic between the ages of 18-49. Clear Channel Communications has a select few hot talk stations under the moniker Real Radio, while CBS Radio has a larger chain of hot talkers known as Free FM. Hot Talk has a similar attitude to rock music radio formats, but without the emphasis on music programming. It is usually found on FM radio music stations in morning drive, as the actual hot talk formatted stations have only achieved mediocre success as a whole compared to AM or conservative talk radio. More recently the genre has been showing up on satellite radio. The subject matter generally consists of subjects pertaining to Pop Culture rather than the hard-hitting political talk found on AM radio.

Popularity of this genre has spread to internet radio, with Hot Talk programming appearing on several stations, such as UFO Radio and ThereIsNoRadio. Like satellite radio, these shows are not restricted by the FCC and advertisements are rare.
