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 .

These are allocated by the FCC, and are required to be spoken at regular intervals.

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.
