Default Were later mono TV broadcasts recorded in stereo?

MTV wasn't broadcasting. They were simul-cabling. ---That's a funny word, because you technically can't call it simulcasting over a piece of coax. The cable providers were supposed to the take the satellite stereo audio feed, and modulate it on a frequency for an FM tuner. I bet there weren't many cable providers that did this outside of major markets, or had an exciter to provide this service.
