analog broadcast

Continuous-wave radio signal

Analog broadcast is the transmission of audio or video signals using continuous electromagnetic waves rather than digital encoding.

Before the late 20th century, all radio and television worked this way.

Most countries have now switched to digital broadcasting, which offers better quality and more efficient use of spectrum: The station ended its analog broadcast in 2009.
