RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Communications (CRTC) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies are: AM 530, 540-1600, 1610 kHz FM 87.9, 88.1-107.1, 107.9 MHz Not all frequencies are used in a given area. Radio reception factors Three factors can affect radio reception: • Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km (24 miles). This range can be affected by "signal modulation". Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength/volume relative to other stations. 52
