The stations play music targetted at people aged between 25 and 44, with their playlist predominantly consisting of hits from the 1970s and 1980s. The London station is more laid-back with easy listening hits and little presenter interaction, in contrast the Magic AM stations in Northern England are less laid-back, and presenters have more room to converse with their audience.
