RW> RW>> Carrier?   
      
   RW> TW> Standard term for an RF signal transmitted.   
      
   RW>I was unsure about the use of the word, but pretty sure that you didn't   
   RW>know what you're talking about there.   
      
   RW>A carrier is an alternate system that 'carry's' a station, such as cable   
   RW>or sat services. Also note below where it says: "individuals or companies   
   RW>that authorize broadcasting or other use of radio transmissions in   
   RW>connection with broadcasting"   
      
   I DO know what I am talking aobut, You are the Misinformed one on this   
   subject.   
      
   Cable Companies adapted that word form the over the air industry. Since   
   early i nthe RF transmitting world the RF signal has been caled the   
   Carrier. Because it "carries" the moidulation which is the Information   
   being transmitted.

    In telecommunications, a carrier signal, carrier wave, or just carrier,   
    is a waveform (usually sinusoidal) that is modulated (modified) with an   
    input signal for the purpose of conveying information. This carrier   
    wave is usually a much higher frequency than the input signal. The   
    purpose of the carrier is usually either to transmit the information   
    through space as an electromagnetic wave (as in radio communication),   
    or to allow several carriers at different frequencies to share a common   
    physical transmission medium by frequency division multiplexing (as,   
    for example, a cable television system). The term is also used for an   
    unmodulated emission in the absence of any modulating signal.
