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.

but maybe you have alzheimers now....the R&R writer is has more
credibility

Again, the bill made it in the Senate, but not the House. It never became
law.

R&R makes mistakes, the NYT makes mistakes. Obviously, someone who was not
around in the 70's confused the facts. Badly.

Well, the article is STILL online.

I don't see a correction listed.

Wouldn't you think that they would be flooded with complaints about the
article?

Wouldn't you think they would have pulled the article by now?
