Yes, FM receivers switch to mono when reception is problematic, but

also, because of the L-R, L+R FM stereo derivation, out of phase content

causes problems.  I don't remember the details because a) it was 40

years ago when I studied that, and; b) the majority of music doesn't

have considerable out of phase content, so it's not something I've been

overly concerned with.
