[CODE NO.3475]
Radio station
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. Today, stations also broadcast via. cable FM, local wire networks, satellite and the Internet.
In a radio station, there are basically three different wings. They are (i) Programme Wing (ii) Engineering Wing and (iii) Administration Wing. While the first two wings are responsible for running a radio station’s broadcasts, the administrative wing provides all the support that is required for the functioning of the station.
