Mediumwave broadcasting refers to a type of radio transmission that operates in the medium frequency (MF) band, typically between 530 and 1700 kHz. This method allows radio stations to reach a wide audience, especially during the day, as the signals can travel long distances. Mediumwave signals can be affected by various factors, including atmospheric conditions and interference from other stations. Mediumwave radio is commonly used for AM (Amplitude Modulation) broadcasting, which is popular for talk shows, news, and music. Many countries have regulations governing mediumwave frequencies to minimize interference and ensure clear reception. Notable examples of mediumwave stations include BBC Radio, NPR, and Radio France.
