Radio and Speakers questions

In Switzerland what is "M" band and "L" band?
Oh uhm i have no idea what you guys have in the US or how to compare our radio signals.
Before DAB and DAB+, we have had UKW which means "Ultrakurzwelle". Before UKW, there was KW for Kurzwelle, MW for Mittelwelle and LW for Langwelle (Short-/ Medium/Middle-/ Long "lanes". Those were the distances how far the signal went. Thats all I know. I might read about it later.
