117-473: WWYY (107.1 FM ) is a class A radio station licensed to Belvidere, New Jersey . It serves The Poconos and Lehigh Valley regions. The station is currently owned by Cumulus Media , through licensee Radio License Holding CBC, LLC, and airs a country music radio format known as "Cat Country 96", simulcasting on WCTO 96.1 FM in Easton, Pennsylvania . On October 15, 1992, WWYY began operation as WRNJ-FM under

234-579: A Billboard Latin Music Award for that achievement. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number one with first week sales of 234,000 copies. As of February 2022, the song has already sold in excess of 2,100,000 units, becoming Dion's second million-selling single in Britain, following " Think Twice " in 1995, and Britain's second-best-selling single of 1998, behind Cher 's " Believe ". This made her

351-569: A Country/Western music format and became " WCTO Cat Country 96.1". The WLEV intellectual unit moved to 100.7 FM, where it remains today. WCTO had a good signal not only in the Lehigh Valley, but in much of the Poconos, and in Sussex and Warren County . As a result, WRNJ-FM and WHCY went down, with WRNJ-FM hurt more by the presence of "Cat Country" because of its proximity to Easton, Pennsylvania . WRNJ-FM

468-450: A demo. Horner waited until Cameron was in an appropriate mood before presenting him with the demo. After listening several times, Cameron approved it, but worried that he might be criticized for "going commercial at the end of the movie". Cameron also wanted to appease the anxious studio executives and "saw that a hit song from his movie could only be a positive factor in guaranteeing its completion". The music producer Walter Afanasieff

585-402: A fax program. The original subcarrier frequency used at KE2XCC was 27.5 kHz. The IF bandwidth was ±5 kHz, as the only goal at the time was to relay AM radio-quality audio. This transmission system used 75 μs audio pre-emphasis like the main monaural audio and subsequently the multiplexed stereo audio. In the late 1950s, several systems to add stereo to FM radio were considered by

702-480: A few months, northwestern New Jersey and the Poconos could get country music on New York City -based WYNY (97.1 FM) . That changed in October 1988, when separate sales of WYNY's license and intellectual property resulted in the station "moving" to WYNY (103.5 FM) , and as a result, the format listeners could not hear country/western music because of WNNJ-FM held (and still does) 103.7 FM frequency, blocking 103.5 FM out of

819-460: A pop song would be inappropriate. James Horner , the composer of the Titanic score, initially composed "My Heart Will Go On" as an instrumental motif for the film. Wanting to prepare a vocal version for the end credits, he enlisted the lyricist Will Jennings , who wrote the lyrics "from the point of view of a person of a great age looking back so many years". The song was originally intended for

936-557: A program feed for AM transmitters of AM/FM stations. SCA subcarriers are typically 67 kHz and 92 kHz. Initially the users of SCA services were private analog audio channels which could be used internally or leased, for example Muzak -type services. There were experiments with quadraphonic sound. If a station does not broadcast in stereo, everything from 23 kHz on up can be used for other services. The guard band around 19 kHz (±4 kHz) must still be maintained, so as not to trigger stereo decoders on receivers. If there

1053-448: A remix of the song. Bruno Mars opened his first show since early 2020 at MGM , in continuation of his Las Vegas residency and did a rendition of the song. Ariana Grande sang the song with James Corden on a segment at The Late Late Show with James Corden . In 2024, the presidential candidate Donald Trump used "My Heart Will Go On" at rallies. Dion released a statement saying she did not endorse its use and expressed surprise at

1170-417: A stereo/mono switch to allow listening in mono when reception conditions are less than ideal, and most car radios are arranged to reduce the separation as the signal-to-noise ratio worsens, eventually going to mono while still indicating a stereo signal is received. As with monaural transmission, it is normal practice to apply pre-emphasis to the left and right channels before encoding and to apply de-emphasis at

1287-527: A whisper. A fine single that will add a much-needed touch of class to every station it graces." Music Week named it "Single of the Week" and gave it five out of five, writing that "Dion delivers another stunning vocal on an Irish-style production". The magazine's Alan Jones felt the Celtic stylings "help the record build from quiet beginnings into a most powerful, stirring ballad, with Dion's voice adapting to whatever

1404-433: Is a staple of the competitions, due to the purity and clarity of Dion's voice suiting the audio range for public address systems. The song is played at full volume through speakers attached to cars in the small hours of the morning, in a contest by siren kings to produce the loudest sound. In the late 2010s, a pop culture trend emerged on platforms such as YouTube in which the song's iconic key change would be edited in as

1521-525: Is added. VHF radio waves usually do not travel far beyond the visual horizon , so reception distances for FM stations are typically limited to 30–40 miles (50–60 km). They can also be blocked by hills and to a lesser extent by buildings. Individuals with more-sensitive receivers or specialized antenna systems, or who are located in areas with more favorable topography, may be able to receive useful FM broadcast signals at considerably greater distances. The knife edge effect can permit reception where there

1638-440: Is also played over the ending credits of the film. When the single was to be released to radio, it was produced further by Walter Afanasieff who added string and electric guitar, as well as rearranged portions of the song. This version, which runs a little over four and a half minutes, appears on both the 4-track maxi single and Dion's album Let's Talk About Love . At the height of the song's popularity, some radio stations in

1755-401: Is as follows: The normal stereo signal can be considered as switching between left and right channels at 38 kHz, appropriately band-limited. The quadraphonic signal can be considered as cycling through LF, LR, RF, RR, at 76 kHz. Early efforts to transmit discrete four-channel quadraphonic music required the use of two FM stations; one transmitting the front audio channels, the other

1872-422: Is authorized for "hybrid" mode operation, wherein both the conventional analog FM carrier and digital sideband subcarriers are transmitted. The output power of an FM broadcasting transmitter is one of the parameters that governs how far a transmission will cover. The other important parameters are the height of the transmitting antenna and the antenna gain . Transmitter powers should be carefully chosen so that

1989-506: Is claimed that no difference can be heard with most newer receivers. At present, the FCC rules do not allow this mode of stereo operation. In 1969, Louis Dorren invented the Quadraplex system of single station, discrete, compatible four-channel FM broadcasting. There are two additional subcarriers in the Quadraplex system, supplementing the single one used in standard stereo FM. The baseband layout

2106-519: Is controlled by Nassau's creditors — Goldman Sachs , Pluss Enterprises, and P.E. Capital. In November, NB Broadcasting filed a motion to assign its rights to the stations to Connoisseur Media . The sale, at a price of $ 38.7 million, was consummated on May 29, 2013. FM broadcasting Throughout the world, the FM broadcast band falls within the VHF part of the radio spectrum . Usually 87.5 to 108.0 MHz

2223-503: Is defined by the time constant of a simple RC filter circuit. In most of the world a 50  μs time constant is used. In the Americas and South Korea , 75 μs is used. This applies to both mono and stereo transmissions. For stereo, pre-emphasis is applied to the left and right channels before multiplexing . The use of pre-emphasis becomes a problem because many forms of contemporary music contain more high-frequency energy than

2340-409: Is described as "emotional" and "demanding" by Pandora Radio . The Horner-Franglen "demo" version of the ballad runs a little over five minutes and has an extended ending with longer, segmented vocalizations by Dion. Franglen mixed the final film and soundtrack version, expanding on the demo and adding orchestra to the final chorus. It is this version which appears on the Titanic soundtrack album and

2457-536: Is designed to be capable of use alongside ARI despite using identical subcarrier frequencies. In the United States and Canada , digital radio services are deployed within the FM band rather than using Eureka 147 or the Japanese standard ISDB . This in-band on-channel approach, as do all digital radio techniques, makes use of advanced compressed audio . The proprietary iBiquity system, branded as HD Radio ,

2574-458: Is given by the Carson bandwidth rule which is the sum of twice the maximum deviation and twice the maximum modulating frequency. For a transmission that includes RDS this would be 2 × 75 kHz + 2 × 60 kHz  = 270 kHz . This is also known as the necessary bandwidth . Random noise has a triangular spectral distribution in an FM system, with the effect that noise occurs predominantly at

2691-429: Is limited to 30 Hz to 15 kHz to protect a 19 kHz pilot signal. The (L−R) signal, which is also limited to 15 kHz, is amplitude modulated onto a 38 kHz double-sideband suppressed-carrier (DSB-SC) signal, thus occupying 23 kHz to 53 kHz. A 19 kHz ± 2 Hz pilot tone , at exactly half the 38 kHz sub-carrier frequency and with a precise phase relationship to it, as defined by

2808-480: Is mainly the preserve of talk radio, news, sports, religious programming, ethnic (minority language) broadcasting and some types of minority interest music. This shift has transformed AM into the "alternative band" that FM once was. (Some AM stations have begun to simulcast on, or switch to, FM signals to attract younger listeners and aid reception problems in buildings, during thunderstorms, and near high-voltage wires. Some of these stations now emphasize their presence on

2925-671: Is no direct line of sight between broadcaster and receiver. The reception can vary considerably depending on the position. One example is the Učka mountain range, which makes constant reception of Italian signals from Veneto and Marche possible in a good portion of Rijeka , Croatia, despite the distance being over 200 km (125 miles). Other radio propagation effects such as tropospheric ducting and Sporadic E can occasionally allow distant stations to be intermittently received over very large distances (hundreds of miles), but cannot be relied on for commercial broadcast purposes. Good reception across

3042-487: Is only suitable for text. A few proprietary systems are used for private communications. A variant of RDS is the North American RBDS or "smart radio" system. In Germany the analog ARI system was used prior to RDS to alert motorists that traffic announcements were broadcast (without disturbing other listeners). Plans to use ARI for other European countries led to the development of RDS as a more powerful system. RDS

3159-512: Is open to anyone who does not carry a prohibition and can put up the appropriate licensing and royalty fees. In 2010 around 450 such licences were issued. My Heart Will Go On " My Heart Will Go On " is a song performed by the Canadian singer Celine Dion , used as the theme for the 1997 film Titanic . It was composed by James Horner , with lyrics by Will Jennings , and produced by Horner, Walter Afanasieff and Simon Franglen . It

3276-508: Is related to the transmitter 's RF power, the antenna gain , and antenna height . Interference from other stations is also a factor in some places. In the U.S, the FCC publishes curves that aid in calculation of this maximum distance as a function of signal strength at the receiving location. Computer modelling is more commonly used for this around the world. Many FM stations, especially those located in severe multipath areas, use extra audio compression /processing to keep essential sound above

3393-407: Is required, from gentle breathiness to full throttle." People Magazine stated that "the dramatics are fitting when she sings "My Heart Will Go On" as a survivor mourning the lover she lost when the big ship went down." Yahoo.com described it as an "emotional power ballad that perfectly captured [ Titanic ' s] romantic yearning". Vulture said that it is a powerful song and has "one of

3510-626: Is stereo, there will typically be a guard band between the upper limit of the DSBSC stereo signal (53 kHz) and the lower limit of any other subcarrier. Digital data services are also available. A 57 kHz subcarrier ( phase locked to the third harmonic of the stereo pilot tone) is used to carry a low-bandwidth digital Radio Data System signal, providing extra features such as station name, alternative frequency (AF), traffic data for satellite navigation systems and radio text (RT). This narrowband signal runs at only 1,187.5 bits per second , thus

3627-709: Is used, or some portion of it, with few exceptions: The frequency of an FM broadcast station (more strictly its assigned nominal center frequency) is usually a multiple of 100 kHz. In most of South Korea , the Americas , the Philippines , and the Caribbean , only odd multiples are used. Some other countries follow this plan because of the import of vehicles, principally from the United States, with radios that can only tune to these frequencies. In some parts of Europe , Greenland , and Africa , only even multiples are used. In

The song also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 1998 . it was also nominated for Best Song for A Movie at the 1998 MTV Movie Awards , but lost

3861-817: The FCC . Included were systems from 14 proponents including Crosby, Halstead, Electrical and Musical Industries, Ltd ( EMI ), Zenith, and General Electric. The individual systems were evaluated for their strengths and weaknesses during field tests in Uniontown, Pennsylvania , using KDKA-FM in Pittsburgh as the originating station. The Crosby system was rejected by the FCC because it was incompatible with existing subsidiary communications authorization (SCA) services which used various subcarrier frequencies including 41 and 67 kHz. Many revenue-starved FM stations used SCAs for "storecasting" and other non-broadcast purposes. The Halstead system

3978-530: The Light Programme , Third Programme and Home Service . These three networks used the sub-band 88.0–94.6 MHz. The sub-band 94.6–97.6 MHz was later used for BBC and local commercial services. However, only when commercial broadcasting was introduced to the UK in 1973 did the use of FM pick up in Britain. With the gradual clearance of other users (notably Public Services such as police, fire and ambulance) and

Sissel I am very close, while Celine I had known since she was 18, and I had already written three film songs for [her]. But that was before Celine was known and filmmakers and marketing people had not done what they should have done for Celine and [her] songs. So I felt I owed her a Titanic chance, but I could [still] have used Sissel there". Instead, Kyrkjebø completed much of

4212-536: The United Kingdom , both odd and even are used. In Italy , multiples of 50 kHz are used. In most countries the maximum permitted frequency error of the unmodulated carrier is specified, which typically should be within 2 kHz of the assigned frequency. There are other unusual and obsolete FM broadcasting standards in some countries, with non-standard spacings of 1, 10, 30, 74, 500, and 300 kHz. To minimise inter-channel interference, stations operating from

4329-557: The United States . Streams increased following the Titan submersible implosion , which renewed interest in Titanic . TMZ suggested that the song was streamed 500,000 more times, though this is disputed by other sources. In the United States, the song was given a limited number of copies – 658,000. Regardless, it debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 , with sales of 360,000 copies, where it stayed for two weeks. In addition,

4446-487: The "Lite 107" brand, and with a collaborative effort by Paul Fuhr (WOBM) as Mornings/Imaging Director, who designed and implemented the Lite 107 marketing campaign. Following Gallagher's departure in late 2003, Rod Bauman, who also served as WVPO's Program director, took over the station and instituted an automated PM Drive programing: 'Lite Love Songs' (7:00 pm – midnight) (Imaging Paul Fuhr using Jim Merkel). In 2006, Nassau arranged

4563-464: The (audio) input signal, determining the instantaneous frequency of the transmitted signal. Because transmitted FM signals use significantly more bandwidth than AM signals, this form of modulation is commonly used with the higher ( VHF or UHF ) frequencies used by TV , the FM broadcast band , and land mobile radio systems . The maximum frequency deviation of the carrier is usually specified and regulated by

These FM multiplex transmissions started in November 1934 and consisted of the main channel audio program and three subcarriers : a fax program, a synchronizing signal for the fax program and a telegraph order channel. These original FM multiplex subcarriers were amplitude modulated. Two musical programs, consisting of both the Red and Blue Network program feeds of

4914-638: The FCC announced the reassignment of the FM band to 90 channels from 88–106 MHz (which was soon expanded to 100 channels from 88–108 MHz). This shift, which the AM-broadcaster RCA had pushed for, made all the Armstrong-era FM receivers useless and delayed the expansion of FM. In 1961 WEFM (in the Chicago area) and WGFM (in Schenectady, New York ) were reported as the first stereo stations. By

There were several variations on this system submitted by GE, Zenith, RCA, and Denon for testing and consideration during the National Quadraphonic Radio Committee field trials for the FCC. The original Dorren Quadraplex System outperformed all

5148-511: The FM band.) The medium wave band (known as the AM band because most stations using it employ amplitude modulation) was overcrowded in western Europe, leading to interference problems and, as a result, many MW frequencies are suitable only for speech broadcasting. Belgium , the Netherlands , Denmark and particularly Germany were among the first countries to adopt FM on a widespread scale. Among

5265-969: The FM radio band from 87.5-108.0 MHz to 76.1-108.0 MHz to enable the migration of AM radio stations in Brazilian capitals and large cities. FM broadcasting began in the late 1930s, when it was initiated by a handful of early pioneer experimental stations, including W1XOJ/W43B/WGTR (shut down in 1953) and W1XTG/ WSRS , both transmitting from Paxton, Massachusetts (now listed as Worcester, Massachusetts ); W1XSL/W1XPW/W65H/WDRC-FM/WFMQ/WHCN , Meriden, Connecticut; and W2XMN , KE2XCC , and WFMN , Alpine, New Jersey (owned by Edwin Armstrong himself, closed down upon Armstrong's death in 1954). Also of note were General Electric stations W2XDA Schenectady and W2XOY New Scotland, New York—two experimental FM transmitters on 48.5 MHz—which signed on in 1939. The two began regular programming, as W2XOY, on November 20, 1940. Over

5382-399: The FM transmitter. The terms composite , multiplex and even MPX are used interchangeably to describe this signal. The instantaneous deviation of the transmitter carrier frequency due to the stereo audio and pilot tone (at 10% modulation) is where A and B are the pre-emphasized left and right audio signals and f p {\displaystyle f_{p}} =19 kHz is

5499-579: The NBC Radio Network, were simultaneously transmitted using the same system of subcarrier modulation as part of a studio-to-transmitter link system. In April 1935, the AM subcarriers were replaced by FM subcarriers, with much improved results. The first FM subcarrier transmissions emanating from Major Armstrong's experimental station KE2XCC at Alpine, New Jersey occurred in 1948. These transmissions consisted of two-channel audio programs, binaural audio programs and

5616-671: The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, Platinum in Greece, and Gold in Austria. "My Heart Will Go On" was released twice in Japan. The regular edition from January 1998 sold 205,300 and was certified 2× Platinum, for 200,000 copies sold. The remixed edition released in June 1998 sold 111,920 copies and was certified Gold for 100,000 copies sold, because maxi-singles are treated as an album. Internationally,

5733-522: The Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø . Simon Franglen , who was working with Horner on electronic textures and synthesizers for the score, suggested Céline Dion , with whom he had worked on many hits. Dion initially did not want to record it, as she had already recorded the film songs " Beauty and the Beast " and " Because You Loved Me ". However, her husband and producer, René Angélil , convinced her to record

5850-480: The US and the UK played an edited version of the song, that had dramatic moments of dialogue from Jack and Rose, the lead characters in the film, inserted in between Dion's vocal lines. The Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø was scheduled to record the song for the film in 1997, but Dion's vocals were preferred due to Horner's decision to support Dion's career. In a December 2014 interview, Horner said: "When I had completed

In addition "My Heart Will Go On" reached number one in several other US charts, including, Billboard ' s Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks , Top 40 Mainstream , Hot Latin Pop Airplay, and Hot Latin Tracks . For the latter, the single became the first English-language song to top the Hot Latin Tracks chart, to which Dion was given

6318-591: The area. WQHT/WYNY switched to a Hip-hop/R&B format. For the next four years, the Northwestern New Jersey/Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania could not receive country music on the radio. WRNJ-FM finally filled that hole by broadcasting country and western music over 1510 AM. However, financially troubled WFMV out of Blairstown abruptly became "Hot Country 106.3 WHCY ". The area went from receiving no country stations to two. Both WRNJ-FM and WHCY used large amounts of satellite programming. By

6435-543: The award to Men in Black by Will Smith . The song won a Japanese Gold Disc Award, for Song of the Year, as well as a Billboard Music Award for Soundtrack Single of the Year. Moreover, it also won at MTV Asia Awards for International Song of the Year in 1999. It has been named one of the Songs of the Century . It is one of the best-selling singles ever in the United Kingdom ,

6552-511: The background noise for listeners, often at the expense of overall perceived sound quality. In such instances, however, this technique is often surprisingly effective in increasing the station's useful range. The first radio station to broadcast in FM in Brazil was Rádio Imprensa, which began broadcasting in Rio de Janeiro in 1955, on the 102.1 MHz frequency, founded by businesswoman Anna Khoury. Due to

6669-439: The background. On set, Celine provided one special effect, it required her to sing a high speed version of the signature song. In January 2018 the director's cut of the music video appeared on YouTube. It contains unseen footage of Celine including her walking to the bow and a segment which puts her right into the movie. On March 23, 2023, a new music video was released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Dion's performance of

6786-523: The beginning of 1994, WHCY switched from satellite to live-broadcasting full-time. WRNJ-FM continued with satellite programming. As a result, WHCY clearly became the stronger country music station. Both stations still held their own. WRNJ-FM tended to pull decent ratings in Warren County, New Jersey , while WHCY pulled good ratings in Sussex County . In the summer of 1997, Easton based 96.1 WLEV adopted

6903-496: The choice. Variety wrote it "evokes the tragedy of the Titanic and, in the film, Leonardo DiCaprio’s dying character sinking to the bottom of the sea". The accompanying music video for "My Heart Will Go On" was directed by Bille Woodruff and shows Dion singing at the bow of the ship while scenes from the film are inter-cut in between. It was filmed in front of a green screen in Los Angeles . Titanic computer artists filled in

7020-549: The co-ownership of Norman Worth and Larry Tighe, who still retain the call sign WRNJ (formerly on 1000 kHz, now on 1510 kHz). WRNJ-FM offered a country music format to the northwestern New Jersey and Poconos . Except for the Lehigh Valley , which had a Philadelphia -based country/western music station, most of this region was without its own country music station after WIXL, now WNNJ , dropped country music in May 1988. For

7137-431: The country is one of the main advantages over DAB/+ radio . This is still less than the range of AM radio waves, which because of their lower frequencies can travel as ground waves or reflect off the ionosphere , so AM radio stations can be received at hundreds (sometimes thousands) of miles. This is a property of the carrier wave's typical frequency (and power), not its mode of modulation. The range of FM transmission

7254-435: The demo. The final version was arranged by Afanasieff. The music video was directed by Bille Woodruff . "My Heart Will Go On" is considered Dion's signature song . It topped the charts in more than 25 countries and was the best-selling single of 1998. With worldwide sales estimated at more than 18 million, it is the second-best-selling single by a woman in music history and one of the best-selling singles of all time . It

7371-400: The digital copy of the single has sold 1,133,000 units since being available bringing total sales to 1,791,000 copies sold in the US. In 2011 alone, Dion has sold 956,000 digital tracks in the US, with My Heart Will Go On being her biggest digital tracks (163,000 downloads). In an article published by Billboard in November 2019, "My Heart Will Go On" has 588.2 million on-demand streams in

7488-553: The extension of the FM band to 108.0 MHz between 1980 and 1995, FM expanded rapidly throughout the British Isles and effectively took over from LW and MW as the delivery platform of choice for fixed and portable domestic and vehicle-based receivers. In addition, Ofcom (previously the Radio Authority) in the UK issues on demand Restricted Service Licences on FM and also on AM (MW) for short-term local-coverage broadcasting which

7605-564: The film's release, with a few note changes at the end. "My Heart Will Go On" is in the key of E major . The verses follow the chord progression of E–B sus 4–A add 9–E–B, while the choruses follow C ♯ m–B–A–B. The song modulates to A-flat major at the end. It contains emphasis on the instrumental arranging. Usage of Tin Whistle is prominent, backed by melodic use of strings and rhythm guitars . The song features both acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Dion's vocal performance

7722-560: The first solo female artist to have multiple million-selling singles in Britain. In Germany, "My Heart Will Go On" was certified 4× platinum for selling over two million copies, and was ranked as one of the most popular singles ever released there. It sold over 1.2 million copies in France, being certified Diamond. Additionally, the song was certified 3× Platinum in Belgium, 2× Platinum in Australia,

7839-475: The formula below, is also generated. The pilot is transmitted at 8–10% of overall modulation level and used by the receiver to identify a stereo transmission and to regenerate the 38 kHz sub-carrier with the correct phase. The composite stereo multiplex signal contains the Main Channel (L+R), the pilot tone, and the (L−R) difference signal. This composite signal, along with any other sub-carriers, modulates

7956-548: The four Rumba stations in 2003. It proceeded to break up the network and sell all of them except for WWYY, which it retained and relaunched as adult contemporary "Lite 107". The station moved from its Hackettstown, New Jersey home to Nassau's Stroudsburg facilities that also housed WVPO and WSBG . In a strange twist of irony, Worth and Tighe retained the transmitter site in Belvidere, which Nassau uses to broadcast "The Bone". Steve Gallagher (WOBM), as Program Director/PM Drive, created

8073-482: The frequency of the pilot tone. Slight variations in the peak deviation may occur in the presence of other subcarriers or because of local regulations. Another way to look at the resulting signal is that it alternates between left and right at 38 kHz, with the phase determined by the 19 kHz pilot signal. Most stereo encoders use this switching technique to generate the 38 kHz subcarrier, but practical encoder designs need to incorporate circuitry to deal with

8190-483: The game for movie ballads altogether, and the impact was felt immediately." MTV listed "My Heart Will Go On" as the sixth biggest song of the '90s. In New Zealand, "My Heart Will Go On", along with Dion's rendition of " The Power of Love ", are favorites of siren kings , a Pasifika youth subculture originating in South Auckland who stage modified vehicle public address system loudspeaker competitions. The song

8307-505: The high import costs of FM radio receivers, transmissions were carried out in circuit closed to businesses and stores, which played ambient music offered by radio. Until 1976, Rádio Imprensa was the only station operating in FM in Brazil. From the second half of the 1970s onwards, FM radio stations began to become popular in Brazil, causing AM radio to gradually lose popularity. In 2021, the Brazilian Ministry of Communications expanded

8424-478: The higher audio frequencies within the baseband . This can be offset, to a limited extent, by boosting the high frequencies before transmission and reducing them by a corresponding amount in the receiver. Reducing the high audio frequencies in the receiver also reduces the high-frequency noise. These processes of boosting and then reducing certain frequencies are known as pre-emphasis and de-emphasis , respectively. The amount of pre-emphasis and de-emphasis used

8541-517: The late 1960s, FM had been adopted for broadcast of stereo "A.O.R.—' Album Oriented Rock ' Format", but it was not until 1978 that listenership to FM stations exceeded that of AM stations in North America. In most of the 70s FM was seen as highbrow radio associated with educational programming and classical music, which changed during the 1980s and 1990s when Top 40 music stations and later even country music stations largely abandoned AM for FM. Today AM

8658-496: The late 1970s, Dolby FM was similar to Dolby B but used a modified 25 μs pre-emphasis time constant and a frequency selective companding arrangement to reduce noise. The pre-emphasis change compensates for the excess treble response that otherwise would make listening difficult for those without Dolby decoders. A similar system named High Com FM was tested in Germany between July 1979 and December 1981 by IRT . It

8775-462: The left (L) and right (R) channels are algebraically encoded into sum (L+R) and difference (L−R) signals. A mono receiver will use just the L+R signal so the listener will hear both channels through the single loudspeaker. A stereo receiver will add the difference signal to the sum signal to recover the left channel, and subtract the difference signal from the sum to recover the right channel. The (L+R) signal

8892-449: The licensing authorities in each country. For a stereo broadcast, the maximum permitted carrier deviation is invariably ±75 kHz, although a little higher is permitted in the United States when SCA systems are used. For a monophonic broadcast, again the most common permitted maximum deviation is ±75 kHz. However, some countries specify a lower value for monophonic broadcasts, such as ±50 kHz. The bandwidth of an FM transmission

9009-510: The most glorious key changes in recorded music history", and that "its legacy is eclipsed only by" Whitney Houston 's "admittedly far superior" song " I Will Always Love You ". Washington Post appreciated how the song was not just tagged on the end of the three-hour film, but has a lyrical motif that was already placed throughout the key moments of the film's love story in order to create a musical narrative. The song has also received some criticism. In 2011, Rolling Stone readers ranked it

9126-469: The musical styles which prevailed at the birth of FM broadcasting. Pre-emphasizing these high-frequency sounds would cause excessive deviation of the FM carrier . Modulation control (limiter) devices are used to prevent this. Systems more modern than FM broadcasting tend to use either programme-dependent variable pre-emphasis; e.g., dbx in the BTSC TV sound system, or none at all. Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis

9243-536: The next few years this station operated under the call signs W57A, W87A and WGFM, and moved to 99.5 MHz when the FM band was relocated to the 88–108 MHz portion of the radio spectrum. General Electric sold the station in the 1980s. Today this station is WRVE . Other pioneers included W2XQR/W59NY/WQXQ/WQXR-FM , New York; W47NV/WSM-FM Nashville, Tennessee (signed off in 1951); W1XER/W39B/WMNE , with studios in Boston and later Portland, Maine, but whose transmitter

9360-565: The others and was chosen as the national standard for Quadraphonic FM broadcasting in the United States. The first commercial FM station to broadcast quadraphonic program content was WIQB (now called WWWW-FM ) in Ann Arbor / Saline, Michigan under the guidance of Chief Engineer Brian Jeffrey Brown. Various attempts to add analog noise reduction to FM broadcasting were carried out in the 1970s and 1980s: A commercially unsuccessful noise reduction system used with FM radio in some countries during

9477-444: The quintessence of Dion's sweeping, romantic style". Larry Flick from Billboard called it a "stately ballad ", noting that the song "woos with romantic lyrics and a melancholy melody that is fleshed out with a weeping flute solo." He added, "There's no denying that Dion can hit notes that shatter glass—and she does so here—but it's a pleasure to hear her build slowly and remind listeners of her ability to pack volumes of emotion in

9594-500: The rear channels. A breakthrough came in 1970 when KIOI ( K-101 ) in San Francisco successfully transmitted true quadraphonic sound from a single FM station using the Quadraplex system under Special Temporary Authority from the FCC . Following this experiment, a long-term test period was proposed that would permit one FM station in each of the top 25 U.S. radio markets to transmit in Quadraplex. The test results hopefully would prove to

9711-551: The reasons for this were: Public service broadcasters in Ireland and Australia were far slower at adopting FM radio than those in either North America or continental Europe . Hans Idzerda operated a broadcasting station, PCGG , at The Hague from 1919 to 1924, which employed narrow-band FM transmissions. In the United Kingdom the BBC conducted tests during the 1940s, then began FM broadcasting in 1955, with three national networks:

9828-478: The receiver after decoding. In the U.S. around 2010, using single-sideband modulation for the stereo subcarrier was proposed. It was theorized to be more spectrum-efficient and to produce a 4 dB s/n improvement at the receiver, and it was claimed that multipath distortion would be reduced as well. A handful of radio stations around the country broadcast stereo in this way, under FCC experimental authority. It may not be compatible with very old receivers, but it

9945-570: The required area is covered without causing interference to other stations further away. Practical transmitter powers range from a few milliwatts to 80 kW. As transmitter powers increase above a few kilowatts, the operating costs become high and only viable for large stations. The efficiency of larger transmitters is now better than 70% (AC power in to RF power out) for FM-only transmission. This compares to 50% before high efficiency switch-mode power supplies and LDMOS amplifiers were used. Efficiency drops dramatically if any digital HD Radio service

10062-512: The sale of its Poconos/Lehigh Valley cluster to an African American owned company called Access.1 Communications, including WWYY, but the deal fell through. The failed sale served as an opportunity to change the Nassau Broadcasting unit. On May 3, 2007, after playing " My Heart Will Go On " by Celine Dion , WWYY and WSBG swapped formats; WSBG became "Lite 93.5", and WWYY became mainstream rock as "107 The Bone". The first song on 107 The Bone

10179-401: The same or close frequencies. Frequency modulation or FM is a form of modulation which conveys information by varying the frequency of a carrier wave ; the older amplitude modulation or AM varies the amplitude of the carrier, with its frequency remaining constant. With FM, frequency deviation from the assigned carrier frequency at any instant is directly proportional to the amplitude of

10296-399: The same or nearby transmitter sites tend to keep to at least a 500 kHz frequency separation even when closer frequency spacing is technically permitted. The ITU publishes Protection Ratio graphs, which give the minimum spacing between frequencies based on their relative strengths. Only broadcast stations with large enough geographic separations between their coverage areas can operate on

10413-535: The score for the soundtrack album, Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture . Dion accepted to sing a demo for the film, despite being initially hesitant to record as she had already done three film songs earlier. Years later, Horner chose Kyrkjebø to perform "My Heart Will Go On" on both world premieres of Titanic 3D (2012) and Titanic Live (2015). The song was generally well received by music critics. AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that

10530-409: The second single released by Dion to sell over a million copies there. This made Dion one of only two female artists to date to have released two million-selling singles in Britain. In December 2007, the song was placed on number 21 on VH1 's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90's". In April 2010, the UK radio station Magic 105.4 voted the single the "top movie song of all time" after listeners's votes. It

10647-459: The seventh worst song of the 1990s, with the magazine writing, "Celine Dion's song and the movie have aged very poorly...Now [the song] probably just makes you cringe." The Atlantic attributed the song's decline in popularity to its overexposure and added that over the years there have been many jokes that parody the song's lyrics by claiming "My Heart Will Go On" goes "on and on and on". Vulture reasoned that it has become fashionable to dislike

10764-528: The song "shines the most brilliantly" and marked it as a standout track from the Let's Talk About Love album. Another AllMusic reviewer, single editor Heather Phares, who rated the single 4 out of 5 stars, wrote, "Indeed, her performances of it on VH1 Divas , the 1998 Academy Awards (wearing the film's 'Heart of the Ocean' pendant, no less), and on her 1997 album Let's Talk About Love have cemented 'My Heart Will Go On' as

10881-532: The song and film greater than the sum of their parts. Los Angeles Times stated that: " My Heart Will Go On helped make 1998 an amazing year for big pop ballads." The Atlantic stated that its popularity did not stem from being played at events such as high school proms, weddings, and funerals, but by being indelibly placed into pop culture through numerous plays on the radio station, speakers, and passing cars. Anne T. Donahue from TrackRecord called it "The Greatest Movie Ballad Of All Time" stating: "It changed

10998-584: The song at the 70th Academy Awards . The video features alternate never-before-seen footage from the video shoot and was restored from its original 35mm elements to 4K resolution . MTV called Dion's performance at the 70th Academy Awards in 1997 "true perfection ... she sounds flawless". "My Heart Will Go On" was performed by Dion in concert during her Let's Talk About Love World Tour (1998–1999), her Las Vegas residency show A New Day... (2003–2007), her Taking Chances World Tour (2008–2009) and her second Las Vegas residency show Celine (2011–2019). It

11115-434: The song because it "encapsulates most everything that once-enthusiastic moviegoers now dislike about Titanic : it's outdated, cheesy, and overly dramatic". Maxim deemed it "the second most tragic event ever to result from that fabled ocean liner". "My Heart Will Go On" accumulated multiple awards from prestigious award giving bodies across the world. It won the 1998 Academy Award for Best Original Song . It dominated

11232-428: The song for the 20th anniversary of Titanic at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards . "My Heart Will Go On" is one of the biggest radio hits and best-selling singles in history , having sold more than 18 million copies worldwide. It was also the best selling single of 1998 worldwide. As of March 2023, "My Heart Will Go On" has drawn 5 billion in cumulative airplay audience and over 728 million official streams in

11349-507: The song spent ten weeks at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay , and was number one for two weeks on the Hot 100 Singles Sales . As a testament to the popularity of the song on the radio, the song broke the record for the then-largest radio audience ever, garnering 117 million listeners in February 1998. The single was eventually certified gold in the United States. Billboard reported that

11466-728: The song was phenomenally successful, spending many weeks at the top position in various countries, including 17 weeks on the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles , 15 weeks in Switzerland, 13 weeks in France and Germany, 11 weeks in the Netherlands and Sweden, 10 weeks in Wallonia, Denmark, Italy, and Norway, seven weeks in Flanders, six weeks in Ireland and Canada, four weeks in Australia and Austria, two weeks in Spain and

11583-596: The soundtrack to a dramatic moment from a sporting match, such as a match winning shot. During the COVID-19 pandemic , Barcelona pianist Alberto Gestoso performed "My Heart Will Go On" for his quarantined neighbors. In 2021, the DJ at the January 6 Trump rally in Washington, D.C. played "My Heart Will Go On" to the crowd. The film Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021) featured

11700-600: The station became the broadcast affiliate for the New York Yankees Radio Network , replacing sister stations WEEX and WTKZ in the Lehigh Valley / Poconos region. The affiliation ended after the 2013 season when the Yankees' flagship moved to WFAN . The station, along with nine other Nassau stations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, was purchased at bankruptcy auction by NB Broadcasting in May 2012. NB Broadcasting

11817-431: The station several years later. The increasing presence of Hispanic investors beginning in 1999 led to changes to Spanish-language formats at other simulcast stations in the company, and its financial position worsened. In May 2002, New Country Y-107 yielded to Spanish contemporary hits as "Rumba 107.1". It was not enough to save the company, which then marketed its stations for sale. Nassau Broadcasting Partners purchased

11934-462: The switching harmonics. Converting the multiplex signal back into left and right audio signals is performed by a decoder, built into stereo receivers. Again, the decoder can use a switching technique to recover the left and right channels. In addition, for a given RF level at the receiver, the signal-to-noise ratio and multipath distortion for the stereo signal will be worse than for the mono receiver. For this reason many stereo FM receivers include

12051-529: Was " Bad to the Bone " by George Thorogood & the Destroyers . Connoisseur Media acquired WWYY when Nassau Broadcasting Partners was broken up in bankruptcy in 2011. On October 31, 2014, at 12:00 pm, WWYY flipped to alternative rock as "Spin Radio 107.1". The last song on 107 The Bone was " The End " by The Doors , while the first song on Spin Radio 107.1 was " The Mother We Share " by Chvrches . The station

12168-531: Was also performed during her show "Une seule fois" at Sur les plaines d'Abraham in Quebec City July 27, 2013, during her Tournée Européenne 2013 , her Summer Tour 2016 , Live 2017 and Live 2018 tours and most recently her Courage World Tour . Dion also performed the song during her BST Hyde Park concert in London on July 5, 2019. One of her backup singers played the tin whistle part of the song. Dion performed

12285-616: Was atop the highest mountain in the northeast United States, Mount Washington , New Hampshire (shut down in 1948); and W9XAO/W55M/WTMJ-FM Milwaukee, Wisconsin (went off air in 1950). A commercial FM broadcasting band was formally established in the United States as of January 1, 1941, with the first fifteen construction permits announced on October 31, 1940. These stations primarily simulcast their AM sister stations, in addition to broadcasting lush orchestral music for stores and offices, classical music to an upmarket listenership in urban areas, and educational programming. On June 27, 1945

12402-518: Was based on the Telefunken High ;Com broadband compander system, but was never introduced commercially in FM broadcasting. Yet another system was the CX -based noise reduction system FMX implemented in some radio broadcasting stations in the United States in the 1980s. FM broadcasting has included subsidiary communications authorization (SCA) services capability since its inception, as it

12519-627: Was included in the list of Songs of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts . Before the release of the film Titanic , studio executives worried that it would be a commercial failure. Sony had paid $ 800,000 for the rights to Titanic soundtrack album and were hoping it would include a theme song. However, the director, James Cameron , felt that ending Titanic with

12636-512: Was included later on the Back to Titanic second soundtrack album, but it does not appear on the 20th anniversary edition. In France, "My Heart Will Go On" was released as a double A-side single with " The Reason ". In the Let's Talk about Love album booklet, the lyrics of the song contain an additional line between a second chorus and the final verse. The words "There is some love that will not go away" are not performed by Dion in any available version of

12753-429: Was not impressed with the demo, finding it meandering and dreary, but agreed to arrange and produce the studio version. He replaced all parts of Horner's demo, and was upset that Horner was given a co-producer credit. According to the music executive Tommy Mottola , Dion recorded her vocal in one take, and that demo is what was released in the film. Dion re-recorded the song for her album Let's Talk About Love after

12870-467: Was programmed by PD/MD Sal Palazzolo. Spin Radio was unannounced well into the following year when jocks were finally introduced in May 2015. Riley Reed handled mornings, "Becker" was on afternoons, Joe Brown did the night show and Liam was on weekends and fill-ins for the other jocks. The station became notorious for giving away tickets to local and regional shows, and bringing in artists for "Spin Sessions" at

12987-497: Was pulling very low ratings by the spring of 1998. WRNJ-FM was shut down at the end of April 1998 and was leased to Big City Radio , which operated New Country Y-107 , a then-three station simulcast of country music focused on the New York City suburbs. Big City then purchased the station later in the year and gave it the call sign WWYY, to match the others in the network. Big City Radio, however, underwent changes that would doom

13104-461: Was ranked at number 14 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs , celebrating the 100 greatest songs in American film history. The song became "imprinted on the movie's legacy", and every listen prompts a reminder of the blockbuster and the hype surrounding it. USA Today agreed that the song will be forever tied to Titanic . The Washington Post says it is the marriage of music and image that make both

13221-505: Was rejected due to lack of high frequency stereo separation and reduction in the main channel signal-to-noise ratio. The GE and Zenith systems, so similar that they were considered theoretically identical, were formally approved by the FCC in April 1961 as the standard stereo FM broadcasting method in the United States and later adopted by most other countries. It is important that stereo broadcasts be compatible with mono receivers. For this reason,

13338-421: Was released as a single internationally by Columbia and Epic on November 24, 1997, and included on Dion's album Let's Talk About Love (1997) and the Titanic soundtrack . Horner composed the basis of "My Heart Will Go On" as a motif for Titanic soundtrack, and suggested developing it into a song. The director, James Cameron , felt a pop song would be inappropriate for the film, but agreed after hearing

13455-565: Was seen as another service which licensees could use to create additional income. Use of SCAs was particularly popular in the US, but much less so elsewhere. Uses for such subcarriers include radio reading services for the blind , which became common and remain so, private data transmission services (for example sending stock market information to stockbrokers or stolen credit card number denial lists to stores, ) subscription commercial-free background music services for shops, paging ("beeper") services, alternative-language programming, and providing

13572-660: Was strongest. On May 1, 2019, the station began operating under an LMA between Connoisseur Media and Cumulus Media; the sale to Cumulus eventually closed on June 26, 2019, and the studios were moved from the WSBG/WVPO studios in Stroudsburg into the WODE studio building in Easton. On October 14, 2019, WWYY changed their format from alternative rock to a simulcast of country-formatted WCTO 96.1 FM Easton, Pennsylvania. [REDACTED] In 2009,

13689-446: Was used in the earliest days of FM broadcasting. According to a BBC report from 1946, 100 μs was originally considered in the US, but 75 μs subsequently adopted. Long before FM stereo transmission was considered, FM multiplexing of other types of audio-level information was experimented with. Edwin Armstrong, who invented FM, was the first to experiment with multiplexing, at his experimental 41 MHz station W2XDG located on
