Surround Sound
On February 26, 2010, KCJJ (AM 1630) in Coralville, Iowa, aired a four hour quadraphonic radio broadcast of the Robb Spewak show. The show spotlighted music from the quadraphonic era on the 40th anniversary of the format's release in America and was engineered by Tab Patterson. All the music was from discrete 4-channel tapes, then encoded into Dolby Pro-Logic II and transmitted using their stereo C-QUAM transmitter. It was the first time AM radio was featured in this surround sound capacity.
