I remember, in my late teens/early 20's, traveling to the east coast and immediately noticing how very different (and better) the audio on familiar network shows sounded, even on cheezy motel TVs, than the net feeds we got in Detroit. The switchover to wideband audio, terrestrial and sat, was immediately noticed and appreciated. Then I had to wait for stereo.

I once wrote to CBS about it and was told that the audio coming out of New York at the time was immediately truncated at 7500 hz (or cycles back then) before going thru any land lines. The highs were further cut to 5k or less by the time they reached any stations. I was thrilled the day our chief engineer told me we would soon be switching to satellite delivery
