"Longer wavelength" always means lower frequency.
AM stations can transmit farther than FM stations primarily due to their longer wavelength and lower frequency, which allows AM signals to travel longer distances, especially at night when atmospheric conditions enhance their reach. Additionally, AM signals can reflect off the ionosphere, enabling them to cover greater areas. In contrast, FM signals, which operate at higher frequencies, tend to be limited to line-of-sight propagation and are more susceptible to obstacles and terrain interference. Thus, while FM offers better sound quality over shorter distances, AM's characteristics allow for broader coverage.
Clare FM broadcasts Pop Music that is adult like, sports and local news. Clare FM is actually an Irish station. The stations frequencies are 95 - 96 FM.
FM radio stations use decimals to specify their frequencies because the frequency range for FM broadcasting is divided into 200 kHz channels. For example, a station broadcasting at 94.1 MHz is operating at 94,100 kHz, and the decimal allows for finer differentiation between closely spaced frequencies. This precision helps avoid interference between stations and provides listeners with a clearer signal.
AM station transmitters can operate at lower frequencies, allowing their signals to travel longer distances, especially at night when atmospheric conditions enhance propagation. The longer wavelengths of AM signals can diffract around obstacles and follow the curvature of the Earth, making them more effective for long-range transmission. In contrast, FM signals have higher frequencies with shorter wavelengths, which tend to travel in a more line-of-sight manner, limiting their range and effectiveness over long distances.
"Longer wavelength" always means lower frequency.
The determination of the medium wave frequency range is between AM and FM radio frequencies. Medium waves have lower frequencies than FM but higher frequencies than long waves. They are commonly used for AM radio broadcasting.

The frequencies of the various radio stations in Israel are between 87.6 and 106.9 FM. Some of the popular stations are Kol Hamusica, Radio Jerusalem, Reka and so many more.Ê
In the USA, there are presently (9/12) two low-power educational FM stations licensed at 87.9 MHz. All the others in the country start at 88.1 MHz and up ... in steps of 0.2 ... to 107.9 MHz. Not counting those first two stations, that's a total of 100 FM broadcast carrier frequencies that are shared by all of the FM stations in the US. Some FM frequencies have as many as 100 stations all licensed on the same one, in different parts of the country.

In the USA: All commercial AM stations are assigned frequencies in the band 550-1620 KHz, in increments of 10 KHz. All commercial FM stations are assigned frequencies in the band 88-108 MHz, in increments of 100 KHz (0.1 MHz).
