Why? Have you heard radio? Every station is just a glorified shitty playlist that they cycle through a dozen times a day

That's what happens when we "removed regulations" and allowed Clear Channel (aka iHeartRadio) to buy up most every major station in the country.

However you can still do short range FM transmissions yourself, as a lot of people do with elaborate Christmas light displays, plus it's useful in emergency situations.

every major station in the country.

Which country?

Probably the US, since they just assume everyone would know they're talking about the US.
