96.1 is really a radio frequency not a channel.

Basically there are not enough frequencies to give every single radio station it’s own frequency. Radio frequency 96.1 FM would be reused in a number of different cities and towns across the United States.

Do a Google Search for 96.1 FM and look at all the different stations that come up with with that frequency
