WRONG!!!  The tonight show has been intermittently in stereo since 
the summer of 1984!!!!!  They started it just after the Oympics.  NBC
evidently wanted to be the first, but ABC beat them to it by broadcasting
selected portions of the Olympics in stereo as a test.  There were
a few stations that went MTS stereo as early as last fall and were 
broadcasting what little they could get from the network in stereo.
The local PBS has been stereo since March of 85, the ABC affiliate has
plans to go stereo but no date set, the NBC affiliate here says 1986, and
the CBS affiliate says "STEREO, you mean FM" and hangs up!
