Only a Game is in stereo because the producers use stereo effects and
music in the production of the show and since it's produced at WBUR they
have us broadcast it in stereo.  I don't know why ATC would be in stereo
unless someone was working on the remote control for the Law building.  
The stereo generator control is on the remote control panel for the
backup transmitter at the BU Law building.  I don't know about any
contractual obligations
