That's a bit specious. Those broadcasts are in Hi-Fi stereo - if the
engineers going to pander to the "2 inch speaker set", why not just do a
lo-fi mono version and save the money for more important things?

Isn't the FM band allocated for sound on television is very similar to the
FM band allocated for FM radio?

I won't argue that miking a live source is more difficult, but I don't know
that I'll let the engineers use _those_ particular excuses.

Cheers,
mark C.
