I think that the broadcast landscape in Europe is very different from that here in the USA/North America-
First, most of the broadcasters in North America are Private - ie Not State owned/operated - additionally the car culture keeps a certain audience 'with-in reach'. Couple that with the geological features of North America, and I think that the outlook for FM is fairly decent - for at least another 25 + years.
There are still many remote - either physically, or isolated behind ridges/mountains - areas that are served by modestly powered FM stations that help to keep the community connected.
The two examples I would offer are Western MA and Northern CA; however I am certain that there are many others-

I will admit I am biased - with a number of tuners set up and running, and being pleasantly re-united with an excellent offering at home in the SF Bay Area-

I will also add to the mix that there are some wonderful New programs being developed and put out on the radio - I realize that many do double duty as Pod-Casts also-

So - in short, I am optomistic
Happy Listening
