Why is NPR on FM stations mostly? ANd why are most NPR talk stations
broadcasting in stereo?


I know very few people that actually can identify stereo content, or even
pay attention to whether it's stereo or not. It's just ubiquitous. So much
so that most radios that have stereo decoding don't even have an indicator
lamp anymore. It's been found in a number of studies that in the days when
every stereo radio/receiver had a stereo indicator that the user perceived a
'difference' when the lamp was on, regardless of the content, stereo or
mono. (all the study ever did was feed a 19 KHz pilot tone to light the
lamp).
