If your radio is capable of using the FM mode on any/all of the bands of frequencies it covers, then it can be used to listen to whatever is transmitted in FM mode on those frequencies. Some radios are only capable of operating FM on particular bands, not all bands. Same for any mode if it's typically only found on particular bands. Just depends on your radio receiver's capabilities, and I have no idea what those capabilities are.
Are there different 'kinds' of FM? Yes, and no. All FM operates the same way. There are two different 'kinds' of FM though, one is narrow, the other is wide. Narrow and wide are relative terms and relate to what is being transmitted, or it's audio frequency range. Narrow FM is used with voice, which typically is narrower in audio frequency range than music, for instance, which usually uses wide FM. Especially in the USA, in the last several years, almost everything has gone to narrow FM. That's so more stations can be crammed into the same limited frequency band than would hold wide FM. So what's the difference? Narrow FM receivers have to be a bit more selective than wide FM receivers, which means a little 'better' receiver, which means it's gonna cost more, maybe have another button or two, special trim color, and who knows what else.
