Keep in mind that in the first 3 years of FM stereo, only about 100 stations
converted. It took FM as a band another 8 to 10 years to become economically
viable after stereo was introduced, and much had to do with government
"forced" regulation. It took 6 years for portable CD players to drop below
$200... and that is about $300 in today's dollars.

FM took off when the hippies took over.
