I just called the local NBC affiliate here in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area
to inquire about what the stereo format they will be going to is and when.
NBC has been broadcasting in stereo to the local stations since this 
summer.  Talk about getting morons on the phone.  The first person
almost hung up on me, kept saying "This is a TV station, not radio!!!"
She finally put me through to someone who knew what I was talking about
but sounded like they were bored to death.  It seems that they are not
going to go stereo for at least a year, if then.  Sheesh, why would
the network bother to go stereo at all if the major metro broadcasters
aren't going to support it?  

Is this the reaction in the other major metro areas?  Are ANY local
broadcasters transmitting in stereo yet?  Are the only people getting
stereo the people with their own dishes?  Are any of the other networks
getting ready to go stereo?  Is this going to go the way of CD-4 quad?
