Expanding the FM Radio Band from 76 MHz to 88 MHz
would give an additional 12 MHz of Radio Spectrum for
60 More FM Radio Channels. Using the TV Spectrum
from the former Analog VHF Channels 5 and 6.

Doing-the-Math : Presently there are 9,201 Radio Stations
using the current FM Radio Bands 100 Channels.
* 60 More FM Radio Channels could 'accomomdate'
an additional 5,520 FM Radio Stations.
* Which means that the present 4,776 AM Radio Stations
could all be transitioned to the Expanded FM Radio Band
ans still have room for an 'extra' 744 new FM Radio Stations.
