That would explain why I can receive Kiss108 (107.9) on my VOR

An FM receiver won't demodulate an AM carrier. An AM reciever
will, to an extent, demodulate an FM carrier if tuned slightly
off center frequency (called slope detecting).

That is exactly correct. Making a front end filter to pass tens of watts of
108.0 to 117.9 and reject megawatts ERP of 107.9 ain't gonna happen.
