Traditionally, radio stations have been organizations (companies in the case of commercial radio stations, schools or other non-profits in the case of non-commercial radio stations) that broadcast radio signals on assigned frequencies. In the USA, the frequencies are divided between the AM and FM bands. Radio stations are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to utilize specific frequencies.
Radio stations typically consist of a physical facility at which programming is generated (i.e.., radio studios), and a physical plant for broadcasting the signal onto the airwaves (i.e., transmitter and antenna). Stations also typically have a number of supporting departments, including engineering, programming, sales, traffic, music, production, and so on.
More recently, satellite-based, Internet and cable radio stations have also begun generating programs. XM and Sirius are the two examples of satellite-based radio programmers.
