I believe the question was what would it take to start an FM station from 
scratch.  Real estate can be a serious problem for AM stations, whose 
transmitters tend to need a lot of land, especially if they have a 
directional array, but for an FM station, it's a lot less problem.  All 
you have to do is rent some space on an existing tower or on top of a tall 
building.
