1948 seems very early for regular FM radio!

The BBC Home Service was the predecessor of Radio 4 and broadcast between 1939 and 1967. It had regional variations and was broadcast on medium wave with a network of VHF FM transmitters being added from 1955 onwards.
found on google -- 
In Australia experimental FM broadcasts were commenced in 1948. However after an Inquiry into FM in 1957, where little interest was shown, the Government authorised the use of the international VHF FM band for television in 1961.

Colin, 


The first FM station in Australia went into service in 1948. It broadcast from St.. Leonards, a suburb of Sydney, so I imagine it was the ABC. So, ther must have been quite a few world wide by then.
