AM broadcasting

AM broadcasting is the process of radio broadcasting using amplitude modulation (AM). AM was the first method of impressing sound on a radio signal and is still widely used today. Commercial and public AM broadcasting is authorized in the medium wave band worldwide, and also in parts of the longwave and shortwave bands. Radio broadcasting was made possible by the invention of the amplifying vacuum tube, the Audion (triode), by Lee de Forest in 1906, which led to the development of inexpensive vacuum tube AM radio receivers and transmitters during World War I. Commercial AM broadcasting developed from amateur broadcasts around 1920, and was the only commercially important form of radio broadcasting until FM broadcasting began after World War II. This period is known as the "Golden Age of Radio". Today, AM competes with FM, as well as with various digital radio broadcasting services distributed from terrestrial and satellite transmitters. In many countries the higher levels of interference experienced with AM transmission have caused AM broadcasters to specialize in news, sports and talk radio, leaving transmission of music mainly to FM and digital broadcasters.

AM Radio (song)

"AM Radio" is a rock song by the band Everclear. The song was recorded c. 2000 for Everclear's fourth album Songs from an American Movie Vol. One: Learning How to Smile. The song was released as the second single from Everclear's album Songs from an American Movie Vol. One: Learning How to Smile. It failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100, getting to number one on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. The "AM Radio" single was mistaken by many to be the first single from Everclear's fifth album, Songs from an American Movie Vol. Two: Good Time for a Bad Attitude because the song was released so soon before Everclear's fifth album's release. The song was later used in a television commercial for General Motors in early 2006.

The song's lyrics deal with Art Alexakis' memories of growing up during the 1970s— specifically mentioning the years 1970, 1972, 1975, and 1977—while listening to his favorite music on AM radio, which Alexakis describes in the outro chant as: "We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco."

AM Radio

(Lyrics: Scott Starr)
All I ever do is fall asleep with A.M. radio on.
All I ever hear is static from you.
It makes me feel so out of tune.
You call my faith.
I call this design.
When channels change I feel our receptions out of line.
All I ever knew from reading the signs with A.M. radio on.
All I ever see are visions of you.
You keep my heart constantly moving.
You call my fate.
Our souls parallel.
When channels change I feel I'm running out of spells.
You call me insane.
I call this divine.
Love only grows when you leave it seconds out of time
