Hello,

   We have cable-radio,   an FM station here is named KABL, hence they are
KABL radio (ha ha ha)..

   Seriously, our cable company has lots of cable radio.  We have TWO cables
coming into our homes, called A and B, each with 30 TV channels on them.  On
the 'A' cable, there is also about 40 FM stations, mostly locals, but some
distant, as well as MTV etc,  On the 'B' cable, there is 'Soundaround' 
simulcasts of the 2-13 'A' and 'B' TV channels in MONO.  Yes, this means you
actually need an A/B switch for your FM tuner!!!

   BTW, our cable company also puts HBO/TMC/Cinemax/ETC and their pay per view
channels out in TV MTS stereo.  They don't do that to MTV, which I cannot 
understand.
