Lower part of FM band has 1/4 wavelength of 32 inches, most line cords are longer so this is a compromise as opposed to a monopole or loose wire that is much easier to position for best reception.
If you stretch the line cord kind of straight for this length, it usually works for stronger stations. Otherwise, run a grounded coax line from the terminals to a better spot in an attic or outdoors, then even a monopole works.
