Totally wrong. FM took the better part of thirty years to 'take off.' 
Many early stations went dark and those who eventually returned to the 
airwaves did so at a much lower class.

You totally misinterpreted what I intended, partially my fault in an effort 
to conserve bandwidth. Obviously FM had a hard time upon initial introduction. 
My comment was based on a view of the overall picture from FM's introduction 
up until today. When you view that entire planing horizon, it is not "totally 
wrong" to say that FM took off like a rocket. Maybe it would have been better 
to say that FM sat on the launch pad for quite some time, but once the engines 
fired up, FM took off like a rocket.

Do you agree with that?
