Quite a number of NBC shows are "in stereo". But don't let this fool you.
In most of these shows, only the opening, closing, and segue music are
stereo. The actual sitcom, or what have you, is mono all the way. It
will probably take some time and experimentation before the networks
really know how to use stereo sound to inhance a program. As for tonight
and Late Night, they are truly stereo -- even though the segue music is
the only effective use of stereo. Audience laughter and applause in stereo
just isn't that exciting.
