WHNY (104.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Henry, Tennessee, United States. The station is owned by Forever Media, through licensee Forever South Licenses, LLC.
FM broadcasting is a method of radio broadcasting using frequency modulation (FM) technology. Invented in 1933 by American engineer Edwin Armstrong, wide-band FM is used worldwide to provide high-fidelity sound over broadcast radio. FM broadcasting is capable of better sound quality than AM broadcasting, the chief competing radio broadcasting technology, so it is used for most music broadcasts. Theoretically wideband AM can offer equally good sound quality, provided the reception conditions are ideal. FM radio stations use the VHF frequencies. The term "FM band" describes the frequency band in a given country which is dedicated to FM broadcasting.
In American, Canadian and Philippine broadcasting, a city of license or community of license is the community that a radio station or television station is officially licensed to serve by that country's broadcast regulator.
Henry is a town in Henry County, Tennessee. The population was 520 at the 2000 census and 464 at the 2010 census, showing decline of 56. Gospel singer Bobby Jones was born here.
