AMFM

AMFM is an acronym used in several contexts related to radio. The most common usage describes the combination of AM (amplitude modulation) and FM (frequency modulation), the two principal methods for transmitting radio signals. In consumer electronics, radios labeled AM/FM can receive both bands, and many markets feature dual-band broadcasting or simulcasting arrangements that use both AM and FM.

AMFM, Inc. was a U.S.-based radio broadcasting company active in the 1990s. It built a portfolio of AM and FM stations across multiple markets. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, its assets were sold as part of broader consolidation in the radio industry, with ownership subsequently passing to larger broadcasting groups.

In technical and consumer contexts, AMFM is sometimes used as a shorthand for dual-band radios or for branding and corporate names that emphasize both AM and FM capabilities. See also AM radio; FM radio; dual-band radio.
