AC Pure
Open-knowledge reference entry
AC Pure was a 24-hour music format produced by Waitt Radio Networks and then by Dial Global under its Dial Global Local banner. Its playlist was composed of adult contemporary music released from the 1970s to this day from artists such as Phil Collins, Celine Dion, Rod Stewart, Gloria Estefan, Michael Bolton, etc. that mainly targeted listeners ages 25–54.
In June 2012, due to reorganizations at Dial Global, the Dial Global Local 24/7 formats were fully integrated into Dial Global's portfolio of formats, and "Dial Global Local" ceased to exist as a brand name. However, most of the former Dial Global Local formats are still offered to affiliate stations in the same manner in which they were previously offered. AC Pure continues as a Local version of Dial Global's Adult Contemporary format.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “AC Pure”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 11, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4650957. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
