Depends on the taste of the audience and station. FM here started with serious 
music stations, with the audience mostly using good receivers in a good sound 
system. And was very much better quality than AM at the time, not lo-fi sound at 
all unless played on a tiny little portable ... but since they were not 
compressing you lost most of the music in that case.
