Was lowered fidelity of 60's tv show music a function of how it wasrecorded or something else in the production pipeline?

Scott Dorsey:

MTS sets: I heard Miami Vice in stereo the first time it was broadcast as such.

Still wrong, li'l buddy, whatever the **** you think you meant.

You can't even remember what you read yesterday, dumb ****.

Only SECAM (used mainly in France) used amplitude-modulated audio. NTSC
(first adopted in 1941 and updated to permit color transmission in 1953)
always used FM with +/- 25 kHz maximum frequency deviation (1/3 of that
permitted for FM broadcst stations) and 75 us pre-emphasis (same as North
American FM broadcast stations).

Because BTSC stereo is backward-compatible with all monophonic NTSC TV
sets (they would reproduce the sum of the left and right channels), the
modulation technique could not have changed from AM to FM.
