[sci.electronics] Secret Messages in my FM?

Someone recently told me that various kinds of information such as 
Muzak, and certain "data services" are transmitted on subcarriers of
commercial FM  broadcast stations.  How interesting.  Can anyone 
provide any more information on this?  Seems like it might be 
amusing to build a decoder to see what all's there.

You can demodulate this information if it is not encoded, such as
Muzak, with a phase-locked loop.  There are several subcarriers
used.  With a PLL, you can search around.
