AM station

Radio dial option

An AM station is a radio station that broadcasts using amplitude modulation, the older of the two common radio transmission methods.

AM signals travel farther, especially at night, but with lower audio quality than FM.

Talk radio, news, and sports programming dominate AM: I listen to the AM station for traffic updates on my commute.
