The Stage - Thursday 09 November 1972
No stereo yet
BECAUSE of a disagreement with the ABS on the distribution of stereo
signals to the Midlands, the broadcasting on BBC Radio 2 of stereo
programmes in that area which was due to start on Saturday, on an experimental basis has had to be deferred.
What were they objecting to? I was wondering whether they wanted paying twice as much with there being two channels. 😄

I came across this about Robert Woods after reading that, very
interesting. He was involved in what it claims was the world's first
stereo broadcast using 2LO and 5XX in 1926.

A pioneer at the BBC
by Patrick Campbell
WHEN some future historian of the early days of British broadcasting researches the library shelves for copy he will find no lack of
reminiscences from the radio personalities of the thirties and forties. .......

In 2022 (and since the late 80s) it's only 10-bits (in Nicam range 1).
That's "progress"...
