Regional Mexican is a radio format for music radio, typically including Banda, Ranchera, Mariachi, Grupero, Conjunto, Tejano music, Tejano, Norteña and, Sierreña.[1] It is the most popular radio format targeting Hispanic Americans in the United States.[2]

The large number of immigrants from Northern Mexico can lead to an emphasis upon Norteña on Regional Mexican radio stations,[1] though markets with larger Hispanic audiences can have multiple Regional Mexican stations, with variations in which region from which the music is taken.
