What I think Mark means is that the story goes that before there was stereo
WBCN and WGBH broadcasted some concerts where WBCN carried one channel and
WGBH carried the other. The listener set up two radios and they had stereo.
I was not born so I don't know the authenticity of these stories.

> Mark Parenteau claimed WBCN was the first stereo station?

WGFM used to make that claim when I worked there in the early 1970's. (WRVE
now, but I still think of it as WGFM, since I haven't lived around Albany
since then.)
