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.


Are you making this up....or did you read the article.


No, I didn't read the article. I lived during the times. And, please pay
attention to who is quoted and who quoted whom in future posts.

The bill, as stated earlier, did NOT pass.

There was no mandate that FM be included on all radios. Please don't try to
reinvent my life story. I was there. Obviously, you were not.
