WBBL (Virginia)
WBBL was a radio station in Richmond, Virginia, United States, which broadcast from 1924 until 1989. It was Richmond's first radio station, owned for its entire existence by the Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church. The station was on the air as a part-time operation throughout its entire existence, broadcasting Grace Covenant's Sunday church services as well as other programming on Sunday night. From 1945 to 1989, it broadcast for a total of two hours and 15 minutes a week. Beginning in 1945, WBBL shared time with WLEE, which began operating on 1450 kHz that year and moved to 1480 kHz in 1950. WBBL's programming was broadcast over WLEE's transmitter. WLEE was shut down for economic reasons at the end of 1988, taking WBBL off the air with it after two more church service broadcasts in January 1989. It was the oldest station in Richmond and the second-oldest in Virginia at the time of its closing. Grace Covenant has continued to broadcast church services over other stations. Foundat ...

Federal Communications Commission
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the United States federal government that regulates communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable across the United States. The FCC maintains jurisdiction over the areas of broadband access, fair competition, radio frequency use, media responsibility, public safety, and homeland security. The FCC was formed by the Communications Act of 1934 to replace the radio regulation functions of the Federal Radio Commission. The FCC took over wire communication regulation from the Interstate Commerce Commission. The FCC's mandated jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of the United States. The FCC also provides varied degrees of cooperation, oversight, and leadership for similar communications bodies in other countries of North America. The FCC is funded entirely by regulatory fees. It has an estimated fiscal-2022 budget of US $388 million. It has 1,482 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Radio Stations Disestablished In 1989
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
