Most likely it was the signal orientation of the stations antenna. Nowadays people listen to FM more in their cars than in their homes...and cars use vertical whip antenanas. So stations are more concerned with getting good reception "thataway" than with traditional antennas. I've found the same thing orienting a dipole in my living room....although I've ended up with a horizontal outdoors.
