Except for 'public' stations, every radio station is owned by an individual or a business
group. The purpose of owning and operating a radio station is to make money, by selling
a product to a customer.
The seller is the owner of the station. The customer is the advertiser whose commercial
announcements are aired on the radio. You, or at least your ears, are the product sold.
The music, news, sports, traffic, weather, and chatter are the bait that keeps your ears
there to hear the commercials.
There's nothing wrong with this. It's the American way. But you should be aware of it
and keep it in mind.

Can you have a radio station with bad words on it?
Yes. Sometimes radio stations don't have censors, they do exist. Radio stations don't have censors, but their license to operate is granted by the FCC (in the US), and the FCC regulations include a rule that prohibits profanity, obscenity, or indecency on broadcast programing. If a station owner knowingly permits it, he can be fined big bucks and/or lose his license.

What does it mean to say that a radio station is at 103.6 on your FM dial?
It means that the radio station transmits on a carrier frequency of 103.6 MHz,and that if the 'dial' on your FM radio is properly calibrated, then you'll receivethat station best when you adjust your radio to indicate '103.6'.By the way... no legal FM station will ever say that, at least not in the USA, becauseall licensed FM broadcast stations in the US transmit on carrier frequencies that havean odd number after the decimal point. They can be on 103.5 or 103.7, but neveron 103.6 .
