Mediumwave radio refers to a segment of the radio frequency spectrum that typically ranges from 530 to 1700 kilohertz (kHz). It is primarily used for AM (Amplitude Modulation) broadcasting, allowing radio stations to transmit audio content over long distances. Mediumwave signals can travel far, especially at night, due to their ability to reflect off the ionosphere. This type of radio is commonly used for news, talk shows, and music programming. Many local and regional stations operate on mediumwave frequencies, making it a popular choice for listeners seeking diverse content. Devices like AM radios and car radios are designed to receive these signals effectively.
