There is a table of separation requirements which the FCC maintains at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/spacing/index.html">http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/spacing/index.html</a>. The idea nowadays is to find any "hole" you can which meets separation requirements per all available frequencies. If you do, you can plop down an FM radio station. These "holes" can be in strange places. My in-laws are in a triangle of land 3 miles on a side where I could put a 50,000 watt (class C-2) FM station, if I had the money. I have a friend whose brother wheeled in a temporary building alongside an interstate in the boonies just because he found such a hole. But, the FCC also says that a license must be tied to a town or city through an "allotment". The location of the antenna must be within 25 miles of the allotment. For commercial reasons, stations which have a choice of allotments will usually pick the biggest town, so it looks like they are a bigger station. For example, 93.9 in central Illinois is allotted to Lincoln, but the antenna is also within 25 miles of Springfield, so they will say Springfield even though the license emanates from Lincoln. Listen carefully: if the bigger town is farther than 25 miles, they must use the real town of license, but can add on anything else they wish afterward, e.g., "93.9 WWWW Lincoln Springfield". Otherwise, if the station really is farther away, the one you are listening to is either a "translator" (low-power remote transmitter) or under an LMA (local marketing agreement) contract for the other station to provide the programming. Absentee owners often do this latter thing. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Definition_of_Radio" data-mw-thread-id="h-Definition_of_Radio-2007-06-10T19:37:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Definition_of_Radio-2007-06-10T19:37:00.000Z"></span>Definition of Radio<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Definition_of_Radio-2007-06-10T19:37:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Radio_broadcasting&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Definition of Radio"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-StreamingRadioGuide-2007-06-10T19:37:00.000Z-Definition_of_Radio"></span>Back in April, the following was removed when vandalism was removed: A radio station is an audio (sound) broadcasting service, traditionally broadcast through the air as radio waves (a form of electromagnetic radiation) from a transmitter to an antenna and a thus to a receiving device. Stations can be linked in radio networks to broadcast common programming, either in syndication or simulcast or both. </p><p>What is left is only the "other" ways that "radio" programming can be distributed. What credible evidence is there for the expansion of the term "radio broadcasting" to be expanded to include distribution that does not involve the transmission of an electromagnetic signal through the air? I believe pretty strongly that "internet streaming" is *not* "radio". Nothing in this article supports the idea that transmission over the internet is "radio", other than the first sentence.<a href="/wiki/User:StreamingRadioGuide" title="User:StreamingRadioGuide">StreamingRadioGuide</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Radio_broadcasting#c-StreamingRadioGuide-2007-06-10T19:37:00.000Z-Definition_of_Radio" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-StreamingRadioGuide-2007-06-10T19:37:00.000Z-Definition_of_Radio"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-StreamingRadioGuide-2007-06-10T19:37:00.000Z-Definition_of_Radio"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-SEWilco-2007-06-24T04:12:00.000Z-StreamingRadioGuide-2007-06-10T19:37:00.000Z"></span>I inserted the obviously missing description.

of radio wave broadcasting have been listed: SW, AM and FM. I think this categorisation is erronous . Because SW broadcasting is also AM. The difference between LW, MW and SW is in the carrier frequency, LW broadcasting has the lowest and SW broadcasting has the highest frequency of the three. But the modulation technique is the same; namely AM. So I think SW must be included within AM. <a href="/wiki/User:Nedim_Ardo%C4%9Fa" title="User:Nedim Ardoğa">Nedim Ardoğa</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nedim_Ardo%C4%9Fa" title="User talk:Nedim Ardoğa">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Radio_broadcasting#c-Nedim_Ardoğa-2010-01-21T13:13:00.000Z-SW_is_actually_AM" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Nedim_Ardoğa-2010-01-21T13:13:00.000Z-SW_is_actually_AM"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Nedim_Ardoğa-2010-01-21T13:13:00.000Z-SW_is_actually_AM"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-203.219.80.29-2014-08-03T06:50:00.000Z-SW_is_actually_AM"></span>AM is correct, regarding entertainment or public broadcasters. Other comms must now use SSB, or FM as appropriate. Only aircraft comms still use AM on VHF, as it came into use circa a 1940. Marine AM was phased out in 1973. The very first comms systems used spark-gap coils for xmit, and huge iron coils driving galvenometers as recievers. Spark gaps were outlawed circa WW1.<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/203.219.80.29" title="Special:Contributions/203.219.80.29">203.219.80.29</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:203.219.80.29&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:203.219.80.29 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Radio_broadcasting#c-203.219.80.29-2014-08-03T06:50:00.000Z-SW_is_actually_AM" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:50, 3 August 2014 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-203.219.80.29-2014-08-03T06:50:00.000Z-SW_is_actually_AM"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-203.219.80.29-2014-08-03T06:50:00.000Z-SW_is_actually_AM"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Funny_quotations" data-mw-thread-id="h-Funny_quotations-2011-06-15T21:26:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Funny_quotations-2011-06-15T21:26:00.000Z"></span>Funny quotations<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Funny_quotations-2011-06-15T21:26:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Radio_broadcasting&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Funny quotations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-ACEOREVIVED-2011-06-15T21:26:00.000Z-Funny_quotations"></span>I am wondering whether this page could be enhanced by some of the now amusing quotations said about radio.

Simply linking to the article "Simplex" does not address this. The word does not even appear in that article, nor is simplex strictly synonymous even if we limit consideration to this one, frankly rather obscure, sense of the word. In the context of radio communications unidirectional is used in 2 senses - as the opposite of bidirectional, basically a communications-topology thing; and as the opposite of omnidirectional, which is a physical thing pertaining primarily, but not exclusively, to antennas. It would be a very rare anglophone indeed who would read this article and not already know that radio broadcasting stations are NOT bidirectional, so the word contributed essentially NO useful information to the sentence. Certainly, the number of people who would be enlightened to discover that they can't talk into their radio and expect the DJ to respond will be far less than the number who would find this word misleading or confusing. I go on at length about this because I thought simply omitting the word made for a clearer and shorter sentence without ambiguity, but the edit was reversed. </p><p>I think the lead sentence as I left it - </p><p>"Radio broadcasting is wireless transmission by radio waves of a signal intended to reach a wide audience, without provision for any return signal." </p><p>-while needlessly prolix, and inferior to simply omitting the word "unidirectional", at least has the merit of being unambiguous and preserving the the point that radio broadcasting is a one-way communication, not a conversation. I don't really think that point NEEDS to be made as I doubt anyone will read this article who doesn't already consider it obvious. I'd be happy to have the second sentence I inserted afterwards deleted, as I don't think defining one rather obscure sense of the word "unidirectional" contributes anything of value to this article, but, if you are partial to the word, at least this is better than including it in a way that is misleading. </p><p>- - - - </p><p>"Ooookay." Some "clever" person keeps reverting changes to maintain the presence of this word in the lead sentence while removing any attempt to define it. And then they ignore this talk section and simply put smart remarks in the field where they are supposed to justify their edits. I don't think I can improve on what I already wrote here about why the inclusion of this word adds absolutely nothing to this article that any likely reader doesn't already know, and why it is potentially confusing. But if you are going to insist on using it, it needs to be defined. I've done so, with as short a sentence as possible. Unless it has been added, the word "unidirectional" doesn't even appear in the article the word "unidirectional" is linked to here.

Any Wikipedia article that gets bogged down in the definitions of "simplex", "duplex" and "half-duplex" is usually improved by removing any such references and just describing what is meant in that context. --<a href="/wiki/User:Wtshymanski" title="User:Wtshymanski">Wtshymanski</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wtshymanski" title="User talk:Wtshymanski">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Radio_broadcasting#c-Wtshymanski-2017-08-21T21:20:00.000Z-24.96.210.230-2017-08-19T20:13:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:20, 21 August 2017 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Wtshymanski-2017-08-21T21:20:00.000Z-24.96.210.230-2017-08-19T20:13:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Wtshymanski-2017-08-21T21:20:00.000Z-24.96.210.230-2017-08-19T20:13:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id=""2023_in_radio"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion" data-mw-thread-id="h-"2023_in_radio"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion-20230206205400"><span id=".222023_in_radio.22_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-"2023_in_radio"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion-20230206205400"></span>"2023 in radio" listed at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion" title="Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion">Redirects for discussion</a><span data-mw-comment-end="h-"2023_in_radio"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion-20230206205400"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Radio_broadcasting&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: "2023 in radio" listed at Redirects for discussion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Wcquidditch-20230206205400-"2023_in_radio"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion"></span><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Information.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/30px-Information.svg.png" decoding="async" width="30" height="30" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/45px-Information.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/60px-Information.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="256" data-file-height="256"/></a></span> An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect <a href="/wiki/2023_in_radio" title="2023 in radio">2023 in radio</a> and has thus listed it <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion" title="Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion">for discussion</a>.
