What do you call a belt made out of hundred dollar bills?
A waist of money.
Stereo FMIn 1961, regular FM stereo radio broadcasting with a multiplexed signal began in the U.S. In Schenectady, NY, WGFM (owned by G.E.) was first on the air, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time. Zenith's WEFM in Chicago, IL, followed and KMLA in Los Angeles, CA, where midnight local time arrived relatively one or three hours later due to time zone differences. Each scheduled a few hours of stereo broadcasts. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval specified the starting day. Experiments with stereo radio began with AM in the 1920s. Field tests for stereo FM began in Mar 1959 to evaluate various competing systems. On 19 Apr 1961, the FCC adopted a stereo FM broadcasting standard, a hybrid of similar methods invented by G.E. andCarl G. Eilers of Zenith, compatible with existing AM radio receivers.« |
