In the NTSC television system, a pilot tone of 15.734 kHz is used to indicate the presence of MTS stereo. There is a notch filter surrounding this tone. A frequency analysis snapshot is included so you can see other than the notch this is lossless full spectrum recording. Tracks were cut at places where the storytelling tracks can be omitted and the disc will not have any abrupt transitions. That would result in a nearly 34 minute long CD without the babble.
