North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement, usually referred to as NARBA, is a treaty made in 1941 between the United States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Haiti relating to the allocation of frequencies for AM radio stations in these countries. |
| | In accordance with the treaty, clear channel frequencies were set aside across the radio dial, at a rate of about one per 100 kHz, and reserved 1230, 1240, 1340, 1400, 1450, and 1490 mainly for local stations. |
| | It required that most existing AM stations change frequencies, resulting in a massive shuffling of radio station dial positions. |
