If you're referring to commercial FM "music, news, and talk" broadcasts, the answer is 'No'.
Those stations all transmit on carrier frequencies between 88 MHz and 108 MHz. Your VHF receiver
most likely doesn't cover those frequencies.
Even if it does overlap the commercial FM band, at the end of its dial, the VHF receiver won't deliver
anything worth listening to.
A). It's basically an AM receiver, not FM.
B). It might deliver a recognizable voice from a narrowband FM signal, but it isn't designed to
even admit the comparatively wide-band commercial FM signals.

What is the purpose of the FM transmitter?
A radio receiver is an electronic device that receives radio wave/signal and convert the information carried by them to a usuable form through speaker. The principal functions of a radio receiver are frequency selection, amplification and detection of signals which are been convert back to its original form through the help of radio speaker.
What is the need for limiter in FM receiver?
The limiter clips the top and bottom of the FM signal to remove any AM signal or static that was picked up. This prevents the FM discriminator from seeing those unwanted signals and inadvertently converting them to audio, scrambling the intended audio signal. Simply put, the limiter blocks interference and static making FM reception very clean.
What is the frequency called that radio stations broadcasts from?
FM radio stations transmit on VHF band, short for "Very High Frequency", ranging from about 87 to 108 MHz.
How do you receive vhf?
You need a VHF radio antenna, a VHF radio receiver and of course a station broadcasting on the VHF frequency.
Why do uhf and vhf relate to television broadcasts?
Early television broadcasts were transmitted on VHF (very high frequency) radio channels. They moved to UHF (ultra high frequency) and have remained on that band since. These bands are used for terrestrial broadcasts. Satellite broadcasts use even higher frequencies.
Why inTV broadcasting video signal is trancemitted in AM but audio signal is in FM?
AM was used for the video signal because components to transmit and receive the video signal (tubes, originally) were not available that could modulate the frequency fast enough for the amount of information required for a video signal. The VHF band, where most of television broadcasts resided until the the adoption of Digital Television (DTV) was also being used for FM audio broadcasts.
Why would a household still need a VHF antenna?
A household would still need a VHF antenna if their broadcaster is using a tower that broadcasts signals using VHF. You can check this by calling your cable service provider.
Why are TV broadcasts in the VHF range easier to receive in areas of marginal reception than broadcasts in the UHF range?
Signals in the VHF frequencies have a tendency to follow the curve of the earth and bend around hills where UHF tends to travel more in a straight line.
Who invented or developed the vhf?
After World War II, the FM radio broadcast was introduced in Germany. In 1948, a new wavelength plan was set up for Europe at a meeting in Copenhagen. Because of the recent war, Germany (which did not exist as a state and so was not invited) was only given a small number of medium-wave frequencies, which are not very good for broadcasting. For this reason Germany began broadcasting on UKW ("Ultrakurzwelle", i.e. ultra short wave, nowadays called VHF) which was not covered by the Copenhagen plan. After some amplitude modulation experience with VHF, it was realized that FM radio was a much better alternative for VHF radio than AM. Because of this history FM Radio is still referred to as "UKW Radio" in Germany. Other European nations followed a bit later, when the superior sound quality of FM and the ability to run many more local stations because of the more limited range of VHF broadcasts were realized. try Google or wikipedia sometime.

Why FM transmission is limited to line of sight?
the high frequency, it is in VHF band.
Why FM signal cannot be transmitted over long distance?
FM stations are assigned to a part of the VHF band. VHF only travels in straight lines. It cannot follow the earth's curvature or get past mountains. That limits the range. Its not FM thats the issue, but the assigned transmitter frequencies.
