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 .


What do letters stand for in FM radio and AM radio?

If you mean the letters FM printed on the radio dial, then FM is Frequency Modulation. and AM is Amplitude Modulation. If you are referring to a four letter group that you hear on the radio, like WFCR or WSFA, then this is the station identification. These are allocated by the FCC, and are required to be spoken at regular intervals.


What does the number of a FM radio station mean?

The numbers in an FM radio station represent the frequency the station transmits the signal on. The frequency range for FM band radio stations is from 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz. These radio frequencies are considered VHF or Very High Frequency. The difference between AM and FM radio is that in AM radio the Amplitude is Modulated, or changed to send the signal, whereas with FM, the Frequency is Modulated or altered to send the signal.


Radio Marketing and Radio Advertisements?

What about them? 1) If you are asking how they work, well, here it is. Companies pay money to the radio station have their advertisements heard by everyone that listens into the station. That is also how the radio station makes most of their money- companies pay the station to put on their ads. 2) If you mean what is a good way, well that's kind of simple. Make your advertisement, and then try to find the radio station that will make you pay the least to do it. Be warned, though, that station is probably not as listened-to as the ones that charge you more.

What do you mean by Radio station?

Radio station is based on radio frequency. if you want to grow your radio station then there are two important things to remember while promoting a radio station. 1. Radio is not a (direct) sale medium like TV or the Internet. You do not sell the product on air. You can only encourage people to call in, visit your website or ask their friends to listen to your radio station. 2. How good your ad depends on how much you spend on the airtime. There is no other way to get exposure for your ads. Therefore, if you are looking at a brand new radio station, then the only way to get the exposure is to spend more money on the airtime.
