- AM broadcasting is the process of radio broadcasting using amplitude modulation
- FM broadcasting is the process of radio broadcasting using frequency modulation
I don’t remember ever having heard this explanation.
In German a different terminology is being used for radio broadcasting:
- UKW for Ultrakurzwelle, in English: VHF for very high frequency, popularly (but incorrectly) also FM
- KW for Kurzwelle, in English: SW for short wave or HF for high frequency
- MW for Mittelwelle, in English: MF for medium frequency, popularly (but incorrectly) also AM
- LW for Langwelle, in English: LowFER for Low-Frequency Experimental Radio
