What I do remember is that Bell Cablemedia offered a radio service, and this included FM feeds for the music channels, Sky Movies and Sky Sports 1. It also featured 5 Live and the other BBC and independent stations available in the area at the time a few megahertz higher than the actual frequency. The signal was plugged into the back of your hifi. I presume other cable companies also offered this.

I presume that satellite equipment was stereo compatable from day one.
It was indeed and I had Bell CableMedia too. As soon as the cables were laid down my road, got it installed in 1991.
