WEEI-FM transmitting in Mono

[Sid Schweiger]

"The opposing argument is that people tuning past a large number of stations (in the days of analog tuning, anyhow) were conditioned to stop only at stations that lit the stereo indicator, so being in mono reduced a station's number of casual tune-ins."

Maybe when stereo was a novelty, but it hasn't been a novelty for decades now.  I'm sure you remember the stereo receivers which could be set to unmute only on stereo stations.  Those too are long gone.  Again, I can't speak for the company, but I would bet that wasn't even a consideration.
