The Edge

The Edge is a branding commonly used by alternative and modern rock radio stations across the United States. These stations typically focus on playing a mix of alternative rock, indie, and modern rock music. The format originated in the late 1980s and 1990s and has been adopted by various stations in different markets, often using call letters or frequencies such as "102.1 The Edge" or similar. Notable examples include KDGE in Dallas-Fort Worth (which operated under "The Edge" branding until 2016) and other stations that have adopted and adapted the name over the years. The branding is often associated with targeting younger, alternative-leaning audiences.
