FM RADIO
FM broadcasting (or FM Radio) is a method of radio broadcasting using frequency modulation (FM) technology. Invented in 1933 by American engineer Edwin Armstrong, wide-band FM is used worldwide to provide high-fidelity sound over broadcast radio. FM broadcasting is capable of better sound quality than AM broadcasting, the chief competing radio broadcasting technology, so it is used for most music broadcasts. FM radio stations use the VHF frequencies. (More from Wikipedia)
Even as the traditional outlets for getting music out to the general public have waned, such as radio (first AM, and then FM) and MTV, the universe of musical groups has exploded into a tsunami of musicians that I probably could not keep up with even if I tried. Music videos have gotten so scarce on MTV that I have frequently seen “world premiere” broadcasts of new videos by major artists on Entertainment Tonight.
