How it's used
Modern speakers in Hong Kong almost exclusively use 電台 to refer to radio stations, making the full term sound slightly dated or overly formal. It is often used in older contexts or specific technical discussions rather than casual conversation. Most people simply refer to radio channels by their specific names or frequencies.
