Stereo Audio in Television

Thomas B. Keller

The industry began work on TV Multichannel Sound Standards in January 1979 in response to the strong interest by many sectors of the broadcast and consumer electronics industry. Television receiver manufacturers expressed interest in multichannel sound development because high fidelity sound for television can only be sold in stereophonic form which would be incorporated in to a new generation of television receivers. Broadcasters desiring to take advantage of new technology and the potential for improved television service to the public supported the request of a National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Committee evaluating future uses of television ancillary broadcast services.
