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.
