   How about in Dolby Surround Sound?                                                  

I still haven't figured out where "Dolby Surround Sound" comes from.
Obviously it requires stereo but the surround encoding is on the
source material.  Star Trek TNG as is most programming uses surround
sound.  It is quite effective for some shows.

But I notice that newscasts on some channels are effectively MONO, so
in surround mode only the center channel is used.  Some channels do
some kind of stereo that results in the "cave" effect.  And some
generate a good surround effect for newscasts.

And how about SAP?  Channel 2 is the only station I have seen that
uses it although some stations broadcast main audio on it (like
channel 4).
