Best Answer

In the USA, if you're listening to a commercial AM station, then its assigned carrier
frequency is a multiple of 10 KHz between 550 and 1,700 KHz. If it's a commercial or
educational FM station, then the carrier frequency is between 87.9 and 107.9 MHz,
always with a single odd digit after the decimal point.

It doesn't matter where the radio is located ... in the car, in the house, in your pocket, etc.

If you're listening to one of the subscription 'satellite' radio services, then these numbers
don't apply.

Why does every radio station have a different carrier frequency?

That's not exactly true. Any frequency you choose has several radio stations on it,but just not in the same city.Frequency is what your radio uses to separate the individual stations. If two stationsin the same city transmitted on the same frequency, your radio couldn't separate them.When you tuned to that frequency, you'd hear both of them at the same time, and youcouldn't understand either one.Listen to the 27 MHz 'Citizen's Band' some time.
