For Low Power talk and sports FM's to turn off their stereo function? I know an ESPN station in Alaska does and says it cuts down on noise on the reception...Funny thing their promos says now on FM and in stereo....
Re: Is it a common practice....
Very common practice.
It is to reduce the noise. It extends the distance you can get the station without all kinds of reception issues, especially in a car. For monaural programming, there's not much point in broadcasting in Stereo. In the old days, you could just push the Mono/Stereo button and it stayed there. In automating that function, there is the noisy switching back and forth, with weak, shadowed, and reflected signals.

WSAM in Saginaw used to turn off the AM stereo pilot when it broadcast Saginaw Generals/Hawks games.
