ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Clear-channel station

Imagine a radio tower that sends out a really clear signal that can be heard from far away. It's like a super strong voice that travels really far without getting weaker or fuzzy. This is called a clear-channel station. It's like when you shout really loud and everyone can hear you, even from far away. These stations are special because they have permission to use a certain frequency, kind of like a secret channel that nobody else can use. That's why their signal is so strong and clear, like they have a superpower! People like listening to these stations because they can hear them really well, even if they are far away from the radio tower.
