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.
