The FCC chose the Magnavox, and Lenard Kahn sued, and then the FCC came

through a

if
he killed AM,, and then a marketplace rulling. So they DID do a single
system ruling, even if changed later. The result was C Quam, and one
company getting all the (very limited) money for generators and royalties
for recievers.

Yup. And by then, it was too late for AM Stereo. When did the FCC do
that final ruling on C-QUAM?

The "marketplace decision" was August, 1982.
