Podcasts are not radio stations in the traditional sense, as they are not broadcast over the airwaves. Instead, they are audio files that are distributed online.

KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was the first licensed commercial radio station in the United States. It began broadcasting on November 2, 1920.

A radio transmitter generates, amplifies, and modulates radio waves in order to transmit information over the air.

AM and FM radio differ in terms of modulation technique, frequency range, and susceptibility to interference.

A radio receiver captures, demodulates, and amplifies radio waves in order to extract the information transmitted by the radio station.

Bandwidth, frequency range, and channel are all terms used to describe the range of frequencies that a radio station is licensed to broadcast on.

A radio antenna can be used to transmit or receive radio waves, depending on its design and configuration.

Power, amplitude, and intensity are all terms used to describe the strength of a radio signal.

Noise, interference, and static are all terms used to describe the unwanted signals that can interfere with a radio signal.

Modulation is the process of converting an audio signal into a radio signal by varying the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the radio wave.

Demodulation is the process of converting a radio signal back into an audio signal by extracting the original audio information from the modulated radio wave.

Audio spectrum, frequency range, and hearing range are all terms used to describe the range of frequencies that can be heard by the human ear.

Multiplexing is the process of transmitting multiple signals simultaneously on the same frequency by dividing the frequency into multiple channels.

Demultiplexing is the process of separating the multiple signals that have been transmitted on the same frequency by extracting each individual signal from the combined signal.

News/Talk radio stations primarily broadcast news, talk shows, and other informational programming.
