A method and system for flexible FM tuning are provided and may include tuning to a particular frequency within a range of FM channels based on an IF frequency that includes an integer multiple of the channel spacing between neighboring allocated FM channels within the range of FM channels, offset by at most one-half the channel spacing. The method may further include determining whether the particular frequency comprises an on frequency channel, utilizing a frequency error that is based on the IF frequency. A local oscillator frequency may be selected for the tuning based on the frequency offset. An intermediate frequency (IF) channel may be generated utilizing the particular frequency and the selected local oscillator frequency. The generated IF channel may be between neighboring channels selected from the range of FM channels. The frequency error may be determined for the particular frequency within the range of FM channels.
