Another idea for recording FM broadcasts to VCR from various stations at
various times is a programmable remote control.  You've seen the generic
remote control units that can control 5 or whatever remote control devices.
I've heard of at least one that can be programmed to generate controls signals
at specific times.  So, as long as you have a tuner and VCR that can be remote
controled, your problem is solve. (with a small investment)

A more sophisticated solution is to use a micro computer to generate the remote
control signals.  I've heard of devices that you can connect to a personal
computer that can learn and send any remote control signal.  Then program
the computer to command your VCR and tuner to do whatever you want.
