Looking for a medium wave (MW) radio station on the AM dial? This free Medium Wave Worldwide Station Guide lets you search more than 11,000 AM broadcasting stations from 145 countries and territories. Find out which stations transmit on a particular frequency, where their studios or transmitters are located, and which country they broadcast from. It is built for AM radio listeners, DXers (distance listeners) and anyone curious about what is on the medium wave band, which in this list covers 153 to 1701 kHz.
Medium wave signals travel much farther after dark, when they reflect off the ionosphere, so listeners can often hear stations from other countries in the evening and at night. Use the search tool below to identify a station you have heard, check who shares a frequency, or plan what to listen for.
