This is because there is much less interference with FM vs. other cost-effective modulation methods, like AM for example.
AM - Amplitude Modulation FM - Frequency Modulation
AM stands for Amplitude Modulation. In theory, amplitude modulation could be applied to a radio signal on any frequency but the AM band on most domestic radios stretches from 530 to 1700KHz.

Modulation Index is the ratio of the maximum deviation frequency to the frequency of modulation. In other words it is the ratio of the spread in frequency spectrum to the frequency that was used to modulate the carrier. For FM, modulation index is given by the formula mf= df/f where, mf=modulation index for FM df=difference in carrier frequency f=frequency of the signal
This frequency range is used for A.M Radios specifically M.W(Medium Wave) Band. More information of MW band will be on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_wave
FM means Frequency Modulated.FM stands for modulation on frequency or frequency modulation.
FM stands for frequency modulation. The definition is: when the frequency of the carrier wave is changed in accordance with the intensity of the signal, it is called frequency modulation. In frequency modulation, only the frequency of the carrier wave is changed in accordance with the signal. However, the amplitude of the carrier wave remains unchanged.
The difference between frequency modulation and phase modulation is that with frequency modulation the angular frequency of the signal is modified while with the phase modulation, the phase angle of the signal is modified.
FM means frequency modulation AM means amplitude modulation
AM means Amplitude(=height) modulation, so the frequency stays the same and the message is coded into variations of the strength of the signal. FM stands for Frequency modulation. Here the strength of the signal stays the same and the message is coded into changes in frequency instead.
