After the move of popular music to FM, many stations now compete for being the loudest and boomiest on the band. Audio on those stations is so bad that it is almost unlistenable. Overmodulation and overcompression is the rule of the day. I have some expensive high end FM tuners, but if jazz and classical music disappear from the FM band in my area they will become useless to me. I may have to invest in a low power FM stereo modulator and feed audio from CDs into it in order to have anything worth listening to on FM. Such is the state of culture and radio these days.
