The FCC NEVER mandated the inclusion of FM.


What the FCC did was require FM to have original programming, and that's
why it took off. Before that, most AM stations just simulcast on their
sister FM.


They required the elimination of simulcasting in larger markets, and
limitations in much smaller ones. They never required "original"
programming, just separate programming.
