IMHO, the DynaQuad/Hafler passive speaker matrix surround sound "decoder" sounds best with stereo content (better that Dolby Pro-Logic 2 music mode).

There's somewhat of a surround sound playback infrastructure (may be soundbars, but it is there), radio can take advantage of it by broadcasting matrix encoded surround sound downmixed from surround sound master recordings - it's close to a free lunch for radio, they just play the stereo matrix encoded quad content, no new broadcasting equip is needed.

That's going to add revenue to the station's bottom line how?
 
Put a simple wiring diagram of the DynaQuad/Hafler passive surround sound decoding method on the station web site:

-> free (just a speaker + wire) surround sound <-

(and also explain there that [if the SQ matrix quad encoding method is used] a surround effect can also be heard using just stereo earbuds/headphones)

and mention when an immersive audio downmixed to matrix quad song is played, could be a unique selling point.


aside: the BBC matrix H broadcast tests in the late 1970s failed to publicize that matrix H could be partially decoded with the DynaQuad/Hafler system, IMHO, a major mistake since the DynaQuad/Hafler method was very popular there as an inexpensive way to get surround sound (there were even some fancy passive decoders):

As has been said, this is about 4 decades too late for anyone to care.

In absolutely no way. The danger is, "I don't have that, so I guess I can't listen to that station any more".
