Most
unique is 'Stereo Radio' which was a brief period of Live Binaural Stereo Broadcasts.
Excerpt
from
https://www.radioworld.com/columns-and-views/roots-of-radio/how-fm-stereo-came-to-life
“A sort of marketplace “AM-FM stereo” system standard for
binaural broadcasting appeared, with one channel on the AM (left) and the other
on the FM (right). These were the days before NRSC audio frequency reduction,
so the audio response on AM was notably better. Vendors offered better
receivers to the connoisseur; and the reception environment was far friendlier
than today, with less electrification, less band noise and fewer stations. AMs
could sound pretty good; all FM signals were hi-fi mono.”
Tune
the FM Mono Tuner to CBS and Tune the AM Mono Tuner to CBS. Select ‘Stereo
Radio’ on the Control Panel
