[78-L] Carlin Mark Twain award ^

[Malcolm Rockwell]

PBS lost a stereo channel? That's odd, they're usually on top of that 
sort of thing. I've come to expect it from Comedy Central, though, 
especially on episodes of South Park. What's even stranger is that, if 
you have a stereo TV receiver, the single channel that is broadcast has 
the same info on both speakers on my receiver. An engineer would have to 
work to do that!
At first I thought it was my aging ears filtering out the high frequency 
foreground info to the benefit of the midrange background material. That 
may be partially true, but not only some of the time. It seems there 
/are/ broadcast culprits involved.
