'''Hank FM''' is the on-air [[brand name]] of several [[radio station]]s in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]]. Stations using the Hank FM brand name typically air a [[country music|country]] format, in configurations of [[classic country]], contemporary country, or a less tightly-formatted mix of the two. They generally use the slogan ('''He''') '''Plays Everything Country''' on their mixed country radio stations, ('''He''') '''Plays Country Legends''' on their classic country radio stations or ('''He''') '''Plays New Country''' on their contemporary country radio stations.
The format was conceived and is owned by Howard Kroeger, creator of the [[Bob FM]] format. Kroeger also provides the voice for HANK. The name may be inspired by [[Hank Williams]], a highly influential country singer from the late 1940s and early 1950s whose son [[Hank Williams, Jr.|Hank Jr.]] and grandson [[Hank Williams III|Hank III]] also had success as country musicians, each with their own styles.
At least one station currently branded as Hank FM does not fall in line with the format of the other stations, using the brand name for an [[adult hits]] format more similar to the [[Jack FM|Jack]] or [[Bob FM|Bob]] formats (likewise, there are a few country stations that brand with Bob). Much like Jack FM and Bob FM, Hank FM stations have playlists of over 1000 songs as opposed to average amounts of less than 500 songs.
