I would suggest that Pop's reliance on dynamic range compression was

to
do with the "loudness wars" than limited bandwidth, especially since it
predates digital media.

A cigar for that man:-)

In pop music the public consider louder to be better.


Making it sound punchier on AM radio was the beginning of that.

Radio 1 started in 1967. When did that get its own FM service?

Radio 1 took over the Radio 2 FM transmitter on weeknights from 22:00 to
midnight
and for live concerts on Saturday afternoons from the early seventies.
They were the only things worth listening to on Radio 1.

Isn't there a Radio Times archive where we can check these things?
