radio channel

Tuned audio source

A radio channel is a specific frequency or band of frequencies assigned for broadcasting or communication.

Radio stations are identified by their channel, and listeners tune to that channel to receive the signal.

The term extends to the content itself: What channel is the game on?

In two-way radio, operators switch channels to find clear frequencies or reach different groups.
