1160 AM

1160 AM refers to a frequency on the Amplitude Modulation (AM) radio broadcast band. In North America, AM radio frequencies are assigned in 10 kHz increments, ranging from 530 kHz to 1700 kHz. Therefore, 1160 kHz is a specific channel allocated for radio broadcasting.

Radio stations transmitting on 1160 AM are regulated by governmental agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States. These stations are assigned licenses that dictate their transmitting power, antenna location, and operational parameters to prevent interference with other broadcasters.

The content broadcast on 1160 AM varies widely, and can include news, talk radio, sports, music (often older formats or niche genres), and religious programming. The signal range of a station broadcasting on 1160 AM depends on several factors, including its transmitting power, antenna design, and the time of day, as AM radio waves propagate differently during daylight and nighttime hours. Specifically, the ionosphere reflects AM signals at night, allowing them to travel much greater distances, a phenomenon known as "skywave" propagation.
