>>There were no directional FM or TV stations.<<

>Wrong.  There certainly were...and are...directional >FM's and TV's.  

A good example of an "early" directional FM was WHAV-FM 92.5
(now WXRV) in Haverhill.
When they first boosted their power from 20K to 50K
with a circularly-polarized antenna, they had to put in
the darndest directional antenna I ever saw!  I guess it was designed
to protect the 92.5 on West Peak, CT.  Then when WCCM's
FM at 93.7 boosted its signal without such protection, WHAV-FM,
which was farther away, applied for and got a non-DA
authorization.
