Adult Standards



Adult standards is a North American radio format heard primarily on AM stations in the mid 20th century. Adult standards (also sometimes known as the nostalgia format) is aimed at "mature" adults, meaning mainly those persons today who are over 50 years of age, but it is mostly targeted for senior citizens.
