Abstract: For many years, television audio has been enhanced by the simultaneous transmission of high-fidelity, stereo audio information on an FM broadcast station with the transmission of video and normal television audio information on a television broadcast station. Unfortunately, due to the lack of high-fidelity network facilities, such programs have had to be distributed on tape or, if live, confined to a single city. Now a network has been assembled for transmitting live, high-fidelity, stereo simulcasts nationwide via land lines, microwave and satellite. The network utilizes analog FM subcarriers for the audio signals, carried just above the video information on video circuits. The network has been used in conjunction with several programs transmitted by the Public Broadcasting Service, and it offers stereo simulcasts to potentially more than half of the United States television audience.
