HOT CLOCK : anglicism by hot clock . LA RADIOFÓRMULA is a musical format based on sales lists, with repetition of the hits of the moment during the 24 hours. This format imposes a hot-clock, that is, a time distribution to broadcast a song with certain characteristics: for example, at o'clock hours a red disc sounds; that is, the number 1 on the list. They are classified by colors into green discs, repeatable every 4 hours, blue, every 6, black, once a day and white, a selection of songs that are broadcast if there is time left. Other hot clocks can be one-hour cake charts whose pattern is repeated 24 times in the day, or the hours that the radio station is on the air.
