As I recall, FM didn't take off in the 60's.  It took off in the 70's, with 
album-alternate rock formats and few-to-no commercials ... a format suited 
to it's stereo HIFI signal.  In the 60's it was still AM simulcast or "EZ 
Listening" automation, at least in the south, where I grew up, where I could 
have bought a Class C serving Pensacola FL (WXBM FM) for $7,000 - if I'd HAD 
$7k's back in 1969 when I was 15 ...

Were we just way behind, like always, down in "Wallace Country?"  :-)
