The FM radio band was originally allocated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1945. At the time, the FCC was concerned about interference between FM radio stations and other radio services, such as television and aircraft navigation. As a result, the FM radio band was placed at the high end of the radio spectrum, where it would be less likely to interfere with other services.
In the early days of FM radio, most stations were located in major metropolitan areas. However, as the technology improved and the popularity of FM radio grew, more stations were built in smaller cities and towns. Today, there are FM radio stations in nearly every corner of the United States.
FM radio is a popular choice for broadcasting music, news, and talk radio. It is also used for broadcasting emergency alerts, such as weather warnings and AMBER Alerts. FM radio is a reliable and versatile technology that has been used for decades to provide entertainment and information to listeners around the world.
