A/C Hit DiscEric the goldfish

Compared to the Indie and Iwi Hit Disc series with their well defined niche markets, the Adult Contemporary Hit Disc seems a bit of a lost soul.  The erratic release schedule combined with the small number of discs gives the impression New Zealand on Air knew what they wanted the A/C Hit Disc to be but lacked enough material to sustain it.
