is it likely the FCC will allow AM stations to increase night power & add an fm translator?
'and is the FCC granting a new class of fm stations ?

In the cities, where is the FCC going to find vacant FM channels that AM stations could use for a translator?
Right now, the FCC hasn't even agreed that giving AM stations translators is the way to go. Only two Commissioners are in favor, TTBOMK, and it takes three to get anything done.
One way to do it is shut down LPFM in the commercial spectrum, and turn those frequencies over for AM translators. But that's never going to happen.
And there is no position that the FCC can take that makes them look like heros because they did something that fixed (or didn't fix) AM broadcasting.
And that's well beyond walking distance of being even an imperfect solution.
