CJLV
CJLV is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Laval, Quebec, near Montreal. Owned and operated by Radio Humsafar Inc, it broadcasts on 1570 kHz with a power of 10,000 watts as a class B station, using a directional antenna pointing east which has a slightly directional pattern during the day and a much tighter pattern at night, to protect Class-A clear-channel station XERF-AM in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico. While the station's signal is unimpressive from a local point of view and does not even cover entirely the Greater Montreal area even during daytime, the station's nighttime signal has been received by many DXers in Europe and is considered there as one of the "easy" targets for Transatlantic DX. History The station received CRTC approval on July 2, 2003 for a new commercial French-language AM radio station in Laval by Gilles Lajoie and Colette Chabot. The station's format evolved from a mix of adult standards and oldies when the station opened on Marc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

CKLM
CKLM was a French-language Canadian radio station located in Laval, Quebec (near Montreal). It operated from 1962 to 1994. The station broadcast on 1570 kHz with a power of 50,000 watts full-time as a class B station, using a directional antenna with different patterns day and night (the nighttime pattern being significantly tighter). While the station's signal was not particularly impressive from a strictly local point of view, the station was received by many DXers in Europe and was considered there as one of the "easy" targets for Transatlantic DX. CKLM originally began with a variety format and identified itself as "the only unilingual French station in the world", referring to the fact that it only played French-language music (unlike most other French-language stations which played a significant amount of English-language music). It quickly became identified as a strongly nationalist station. Late in 1967, the station feared that it would lose its licence, after ...

CHRN
CHRN is a multilingual radio station which operates at 1610 kHz/ AM in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The station serves as a flagship for Radio Humsafar, an international radio network serving the South Asian diaspora. CHRN is Radio Humsafar's second radio station in the Greater Montreal area, as it also owns CJLV. Radio Humsafar received approval for the station from the CRTC on May 16, 2014. The station will operate at 1610 kHz with a universal transmitter power of 1,000 watts. The 1610 frequency was previously occupied by CJWI from 2002 until 2009, when it relocated to 1410 kHz. Radio Humsafar previously applied for a station on March 16, 2011, which would have broadcast at 1400 kHz with a power of 1,000 watts; this application was later withdrawn, for unknown reasons, though a station at this position would have been first-adjacent to CJWI at 1410 kHz, which would have created interference issues. CHRN is one of only two full-power stations in North Americ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
AM Broadcasting
AM broadcasting is radio broadcasting using amplitude modulation (AM) transmissions. It was the first method developed for making audio radio transmissions, and is still used worldwide, primarily for medium wave (also known as "AM band") transmissions, but also on the longwave and shortwave radio bands. The earliest experimental AM transmissions began in the early 1900s. However, widespread AM broadcasting was not established until the 1920s, following the development of vacuum tube receivers and transmitters. AM radio remained the dominant method of broadcasting for the next 30 years, a period called the " Golden Age of Radio", until television broadcasting became widespread in the 1950s and received most of the programming previously carried by radio. Subsequently, AM radio's audiences have also greatly shrunk due to competition from FM (frequency modulation) radio, Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), satellite radio, HD (digital) radio, Internet radio, music streaming ser ...

Pop Standards
Traditional pop (also known as classic pop and pre-rock and roll pop) is Western pop music that generally pre-dates the advent of rock and roll in the mid-1950s. The most popular and enduring songs from this era of music are known as pop standards or American standards. The works of these songwriters and composers are usually considered part of the canon known as the "Great American Songbook". More generally, the term " standard" can be applied to any popular song that has become very widely known within mainstream culture. AllMusic defines traditional pop as "post-big band and pre-rock & roll pop music". Origins Classic pop includes the song output of the Broadway, Tin Pan Alley, and Hollywood show tune writers from approximately World War I to the 1950s, such as Irving Berlin, Frederick Loewe, Victor Herbert, Harry Warren, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein, Johnny Mercer, Dorothy Fields, Hoagy C ...

MW DX
MW DX, short for mediumwave DXing, is the hobby of receiving distant mediumwave (also known as '' AM'') radio stations. MW DX is similar to TV and FM DX in that broadcast band (BCB) stations are the reception targets. However, the nature of the lower frequencies (530 – 1710 kHz) used by mediumwave radio stations is very much different from that of the VHF and UHF bands used by FM and TV broadcast stations, and therefore involves different receiving equipment, signal propagation, and reception techniques. Propagation During the daytime, medium and high-powered mediumwave AM radio stations have a normal reception range of about 20 to 250 miles (32 to 400+ km), depending on the transmitter power, location, and the quality of the receiving equipment, including the amount of man-made and natural electromagnetic noise present. Long-distance reception is normally impeded by the D layer of the ionosphere, which during the daylight hours absorbs signals in the mediumwave range. ...

Radio Format
A radio format or programming format (not to be confused with broadcast programming) describes the overall content broadcast on a radio station. The radio format emerged mainly in the United States in the 1950s, at a time when radio was compelled to develop new and exclusive ways to programming by competition with television. The formula has since spread as a reference for commercial radio programming worldwide. A radio format aims to reach a more or less specific audience according to a certain type of programming, which can be thematic or general, more informative or more musical, among other possibilities. Radio formats are often used as a marketing tool and are subject to frequent changes. Except for talk radio or sports radio formats, most programming formats are based on commercial music. However the term also includes the news, bulletins, DJ talk, jingles, commercials, competitions, traffic news, sports, weather and community announcements between the tracks. Background ...
