New Hits First!

Always Commercial Free!

Upbeat and Up-To-Date!

We took the Top 40 format and "turned it upside down"!

Every day we feature a brand new song called the “HitBound Debut” and play it every hour for 24 hours beginning at midnight (Eastern Time).

It plays every 90 minutes for the next 3 days then every 3 hours for the next 3 weeks and then goes into a slower rotation.

If it is not in the Top 40 chart after 60 days, it is removed from our playlist.

HitBound Radio:
Songs that are BOUND to be Hits!

What is HitBound Radio?

It all started in 1984 when I was doing a project for my MBA with 98PXY in Rochester, New York. I got to know the Program Director, Tom Mitchell (former Operations Manager at 93Q in Syracuse, New York), where I would make suggestions for new songs to add to his music rotation. One day I suggested that he call the new songs that he played hourly: "HitBound". He got a jingle made by JAMS and each new song was preceded by the HitBound jingle.

For 30 years, I followed the radio industry but never did anything. I've always wanted to create a radio station that focused on New Hits as I used to try to "pick the new hits" before they became popular so a year or so ago, I started playing with creating a specific "format clock" and instead of using music rotation software, I created a killer spreadsheet to create my music rotations. "HitBound Radio" was born. Rather than being like a typical Top40 music station that might play their top 3 songs every 90 minutes, we took that format and "turned it upside down"! EVERY DAY we add a new song called the "HitBound Debut" and play it ONCE PER HOUR FOR 24 HOURS. Then for the next 3 days, it plays every 90 minutes and then it goes into slower rotations.

I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to send us your suggestions and comments at [email protected]
