WWV (radio Station) - Broadcast Format

Broadcast Format

On top of the standard carrier frequencies, WWV carries additional information using standard double-sideband amplitude modulation. WWV's transmissions follow a regular pattern repeating each minute. They are coordinated with its sister station WWVH to limit interference between them. Because they are so similar, both are described here.

0–1 Minute beep (0.8 s)

    Radio news is bearable. This is due to the fact that while the news is being broadcast the disc jockey is not allowed to talk.
