radio stations

Dial-tuned audio sources

Radio stations are broadcast facilities that transmit audio programming over radio waves to receivers within their range.

Each station operates on an assigned frequency, identified by call letters or numbers on the AM or FM dial.

Stations may specialize in music formats, news, talk, sports, or public programming.

I flip between radio stations during my commute.

The term also applies to the organizations that produce and distribute such content, whether commercial, public, or community-based.
