music station

Broadcasts songs continuously

A music station is a radio station that primarily broadcasts music rather than talk, news, or sports programming.

Stations typically specialize in a format—rock, country, classical, hip-hop—and listeners tune in for continuous music with minimal interruption: I keep the music station on while I work.

The term extends to streaming services and digital channels that function similarly.
