Perhaps interference for SMPS etc have killed off what foreign stations 60 years ago couldn’t, at least the foreign stations very often had decent programmes.

Back then, the public were increasingly watching TV (instead of radio listening) during the hours of serious foreign interference on MW. So whilst TV facilitated the transmission of FM radio (using the same transmission sites) its growth would also have to an extent delayed takeup of FM!
