FM is not inherently a stereo signal. What makes a signal stereo is that different signal is being received by each ear. There is a regular FM and there is a stereo FM. In stereo FM, there is a Left channel and Right channel, each carry slightly different signals. The brain combines these and hears it as a stereo signal.
The fact that signal is frequency modulated or amplitude makes no difference. Our ears cannot tell the difference. What we hear is the baseband signal, after the carrier has been removed. This is where the stereo aspect comes in. And this happens if the initial recording is made on atleast two channels, each receving slightly different music. When these channels are transmitted and then received separately they feel stereophonic.
