It used to work just fine using the AM Radio Test Match Special sound & TV Cricket Pictures back in good old analogue TV days. Unfortunately when Test Cricket went to Sky satellite, the transmission delay permanently screwed it up. Jonners, Blowers and Aggers were 👍 |

I'm such a modern day kid, I didn't even consider that as an option. The only time I see it is with programmable televisions narrating action for the blind. I'm so use to the options being "Dubbed" or "Subbed". This was - and still is! - quite common in parts of eastern Europe. It's known as Lektor in Poland. If you take a look at that page, you'll hear some examples of 'Polish Lektor' spoken over an English movie and some French dubbed episodes of a Japanese anime! Every now and then I see a post somewhere of someone who got a hard to find movie/tv program from a Russian broadcast. I know this because that's when they always ask, is there a way to remove a dubbed over audio track (or something like that). The answer is of course always NO, sadly. |

Keep in mind, it was all analogue and other-the-air - so no digital or cable/satellite lags. Also second language doesn't have to be perfect (though I can't remember if it was the English that was on radio or the Thai). |

As you'll recall, when the BBC was running experimental stereo tests, in the Sixties, prior to converting their VHF transmitters for stereo radio, they did some test broadcasts in which one radio channel was transmitted on BBC1 and the other radio channel was transmitted on one of their AM radio stations.
Listeners were instructed - I think by an article in Radio Times - as to how to put the TV set in one corner of the room, tuned to BBC1, and a portable radio set in another corner, tuned to Radio 2 I think it was.
In those days, the Television Service was only on-air for a handful of hours in the daytime, and the only programmes during the hours of daylight were at lunchtime, so there was plenty of space in the telly schedules for the occasional one hour experimental stereo broadcast.
I can hardly believe that any of us are likely to say, "I'm too young to remember it".
It wasn't just overseas that two-channel broadcasting was in occasional use.

"I'm too young to remember it" 😄
...but my parents and grandparents told me about this a few times so I was aware...albeit with the usual variations in memory and details!
