The BBC, for all their faults, run their TV channels with 256kbps
discrete stereo audio, even the AD soundtracks. (The "red button"
channels are 192kbps on DSat, as are their main radio channels on
DSat.)
Bayern Klassik on German satellite runs their audio services on 320
K/Bits, but 441 odd when their doing Dolby 5.1!..
128K is considered, well, OK for just info services using Mono speech...
NDR TV - 192kbps stereo.
WDR TV - 192kbps stereo.
Also, WDR's video bitrate is about 2.5 times that of NDR. German TV
stations use left channel for programme audio and right channel for
audio description, even on digital satellite.
(Comparing my different recordings of "Dinner for One".)
A wonderful production, seen every new year's eve in virtually every
country in Europe apart from the UK. In Germany on pretty much every
channel.
Germans are really surprised to hear that most people in the UK have
never heard of it or seen it. This is classic slapstick and is
appreciated in much the same way that Mr. Bean is also popular.
There are some copies on Youtube, but many have been truncated. The
proper version begins with an introduction by a German announcer
explaining what it is all about and in total lasts for about 18 minutes.
