FM station

Clear audio broadcaster

An FM station is a radio broadcasting outlet that transmits on the FM (frequency modulation) band, typically between 88 and 108 megahertz.

FM stations generally offer clearer sound quality than AM stations, making them the preferred choice for music programming: My favorite FM station plays classic rock all day.
