I'm surprised myself and didn't read the English Wiki.

Btw. all the times I've seen television from former Yugoslavia
countries, at least gypsy television, audio was distorted.

When somebody from a German night show made a joke about Turkish
television, they add distortion to the sound.

I wonder if the engineers in those countries are idiots, or if there
should be a technically reason for the distorted audio signals.

I didn't read this myself either, but while scrolling it seems to be
more exploratory than the Wikis are:

NTSC and PAL are for:
"Never The Same Color
Never Tested Since Christ
Pay the Additional Luxury
Pay Another License
Peace At Last
Perfection At Last" -
