Arrow (radio format)
Arrow is a radio format that plays "classic hits" from the late 1970s through the early 1980s among other selections. The format was briefly popular in a number of markets.
The word "Arrow" is an extended acronym for "All Rock-and-Roll Oldies".
Many Arrow stations were owned by Infinity Broadcasting and scattered throughout the United States. The flagship station for Arrow was KCBS-FM which aired the format from 1993-2001 until switching to classic rock.
