Abstract: On March 29, 1984, the FCC backed into an endorsement of multichannel television sound (MTS) broadcasting with a ruling worthy of comparison to the judgmental wisdom of Solomon. It “authorized Stereo TV by establishing technical guidelines to protect from frequency interference a multichannel sound system designed by Zenith Audio Corp. and dbx Inc.” (See Bibliography Reference 8). “The Commission's position, therefore, did not rule out other systems for TV stereo sound transmission. “However, in reality the action tacitly gives a vote of confidence to the work of the Electronic Industries Association, which recommended the Zenith/dbx systems over several others.
