left and right is eliminated... and that applies to any listening
location.

It's easy to perceive depending on the material. Say a different
instrument comes from left and right at the same volume. Easy to tell
even with road noise.

Part of the perception of dimension comes from dynamic range. Radio so
limits range that the information is lost and the ability to interpret
spatial relationsips is diminished.


I said that there were stations that got the stereo light to shine
without
actually being in stereo. The objective was deceiptful, as what they
wanted
was to make people think that the station was stereo when it wasn't. Most
people never figured that out as they couldn't tell the difference.

How am I supposed to know about most people. You saying most people are
stupid then?

No, most people don't realize there is no stereo separation because the lit
stereo light convinces them it is stereo when it is not.

I don't believe the 60% mono figure. You are not making any sense
at all today.

I really don't care what you believe as you have no data to the
contrary while the radio industry has countless valid surveys.

People don't lie in the surveys? Mistakes are not made? Silly people
like you are not around to misinterpret the data?


My staff does about a hundred thousand interviews a year, all of which I can
monitor. We see no indication of lies, since lying about a station or about
music they like has no gain. QC will avoid mistakes, and a percentage of
reconfirm callbacks can achieve that. As to the interpretation, we've done
better in the ratings than any other major player over the last years, so we
must be doing our research, interpretation and implementation quite well.
