It is interesting how this varies by country.

I am French and our FM radios are good in average. Some are excellent, some are poor. The distribution is skewed towards good.

I have the same impression when listening to German ones, though I listen only occasionally and just a few stations.

Then going further east, you have the Polish ones which sound unbereable to me, everyone is unnaturally shouting, or behaving in a very unnatural way (I belive this is copied from the US, despite French radios such as FUN betting precursors of modern FM there in the 90's). There are exceptions though, such as Tok FM.



Tok FM was the only station that was listened to in my household exactly because of those reasons.

Small, regional stations in Poland are much better in this regard than the big ones with national coverage.

Still, barely anybody invests in licensing the latest songs so there's a more or less stable list which is repeated over and over.
