I know you old timers will. laugh

A buddy and I were talking about this yesterday.

Do any young folks remember when tv went off at night? The stations quit broadcasting late at night and the tv had different colored stripes on the screen. Early in the mornings, fighter jets came across the screen and they played the National Anthem, then they started broadcasting again.

The young guys at work didn't believe us.

I work on digital television transmitters for Alabama Public Television. I'm only 23 but my boss tells me stories from before the stations were remoted when someone had to be there when they signed on at whatever time it was in the morning all day until they signed off and shut the transmitter down at 11. I've heard him say something about playing the national anthem at sign on then again at sign off.

I'm 54 and I remember it. I always thought it was cool to get to stay up that late with my Daddy. I also remember when I was a kid WBAM would sign off at night playing Dixie.

Midnight, "Station is signing off for the day" message and the national anthem.

5 a.m., "Station is signing on for the day" message, national anthem, morning news.

I remember when the NWS weather forecasts started being played all night and then cable began. HBO movies? Cool. MTV videos at night? Same rotation every hour or two, but it was something to watch. ESPN, sports and Australian Rules Football on 24 hours a day? Holy cow.

(BTW, Aussie Rules Football was ESPN's top-ranked show for many years because it was different, brutal and appealed to the young male demographic. Back then, in the olden days of the early 1980s, they got huge ratings when they showed a match.)

Yep, and I remember only getting 3 UHF channels. Test pattens at sign on and sign off. Also remember the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance being broadcast. Imagine that


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Of course! Don Cornelieus was the coolest cat around.



Kirshner's show was crazy for the time, too.

I remember it, and I'm only 32. It was very early in childhood, but I do rember it. Also , before a show came on, there would be different colored stripes and the clockwise black circle countdown.

OK, how bout this. I can remember being in about 5th grade in Casa Grande, AZ about 1973 and a new kid moved in the neighborhood from Bakersfield, California and he was telling us about this deal they had out there where you got your TV from a wire in the wall and you didn't need an antennae. Best of all, he said, was the fact that you got 20 channels.

No one believed him.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Yup, sign off and sign on in the morning, I also remember when the colored stripes went away and they started playing the radar loop from 11pm till 5am.
Stoners loved to sit and watch the blue colored radar loop while listening to their albums or late night radio.

Yes I remember that and our first Tv in 1956. It was huge with a small screen. B/W . Most stations when they went off left a high pitched hum or just static sound till they signed back on.

It's 10 o'clock do you know where your children are?

It was my job to lay in front of the TV and turn the channel selector when dad wanted a different channel. But you had to be careful and not go too fast or it would strip out the selector and the. You were in trouble. Later "The Clicker" came along. I can remember going with dad to Radio Shack with a box full of vacuum tubes to check them on a machine then buy a new one of the bad one. Head back home and replace it in the back of the TV. You had to not touch the big green round thing in the corner with the dust attached to it like hair. Dad said it would light you up like a Christmas tree.

When the Chattanooga stations signed off at night they played the video of John Wayne talking about how he loved America before the national anthem. I need to look for that on YouTube

We got 4 channels. I vividly remember going outside to turn the antenna and dad hollering "WHOA! Back a little. WHOA!"

Idk why, but I was always bare footed. Rain, shine, snow. Didn't matter.

I worked in the ETV studio at The University of Alabama with only B&W cameras to pay my way through school. After I graduated; I sold them their first color studio cameras.

Remember it well. Along with 3 channels and PBS. Sometimes had to adjust the antenna by turning it just right.

We had 3 channels at the house. Granny was a mile up the road and she got 6 out of Birmingham and PBS on 25. Not sure why she could and we couldn't.
We got excited when 48 out of Huntsville added a taller antenna. We could pick it up better. And when Fox 54 came to Huntsville, my dad got all excited. "We're going to get all kinds of good movies," he said.
A TV was a piece of furniture back then too, in a big old wood or faux wood cabinet.
I watched more TV then than I do now. I've about give up on it. Except for college football in the fall.

I've got a ton of Beta cassettes, somewhere out in the shed, I think. I remember 8-tracks in cars being state-of-the-art stuff...and cassette tapes after that. News at 6:00 and 10:00, the "It's ten o'clock, do you know where you're children are?" PSA's, National Anthem at sign off/sign on, and test patterns in between. We had 2 channels, plus PBS...3 channels if the weather was just right and we could get channel 7 out of Panama City. That didn't happen often, usually it was 12 in Montgomery and 4 in Dothan, and of course PBS was 2. I grew up on military bases, so at the theatres they always played the National Anthem before movies, too, and everyone in the place stood and held their hand over their heart. There were gas stations where you'd pull in and an attendant would pump the gas, check the oil, and clean the windows for no extra charge, plus you got S&H Trading Stamps, a drinking glass (collect the whole set!) or some other gift just for doing business with them!

I'm 51 and I remember when TV signed off for the night.

I remember Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. I also remember The Midnight Special that came on late Friday night.

Kids now have no clue. Three regular channels and PBS were all we got. If you didn't see a movie in the theaters you might never see it period unless years later one of the networks decided to air it. No vcr's, no cable, no satelite, no netflix.

There was a great show that the ABC station out of Pensacola aired late Saturday nights when I was a young kid called popcorn theater. I would slip back out of bed and sit inches away from the TV with the sound turned way down so my parents wouldn't hear it. They showed movies. Mostly comedies and horror films. Because of that show I got to see most of the old Hammer Studio horror films with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Dracula, Curse of Frankenstein, the Mummy, etc, etc. Also got to see a lot of the classic comedies by Abbott and Costello, the Marx Brothers, W C Fields, etc. Good memories.

5 a.m., "Station is signing on for the day" message, national anthem, morning news.

I remember when the NWS weather forecasts started being played all night and then cable began. HBO movies? Cool. MTV videos at night? Same rotation every hour or two, but it was something to watch. ESPN, sports and Australian Rules Football on 24 hours a day? Holy cow.

(BTW, Aussie Rules Football was ESPN's top-ranked show for many years because it was different, brutal and appealed to the young male demographic. Back then, in the olden days of the early 1980s, they got huge ratings when they showed a match.)




Remember back when ESPN used to show PKA Karate. "Bad" Brad Hefton was one of the top fighters.

That was one of my first jobs at the Citgo on the corner in Cahaba Heights. I had a shirt with my name on it, I would pump gas, clean the windshield, check the oil and fluid levels, and check the air in the tires and get a tip too. Seems like I made something like $1.35 an hour.

"Oh, the stations up here they don't sign off with Dixie,

Well they did in Sweet Home Ala-bam".

Younger ones won't get that. I think signing off with Dixie might have been a radio thing. Anyone remember? I ain't as old as Troy, but pretty close.

I remember The Duke at sign off too. We could get 2 of the Chattanooga stations pretty well but the other one we had to go outside and turn the antenna just a little. So it was back and forth . Then we got UHF and could pick up Huntsville.

Do any young folks remember when tv went off at night? The stations quit broadcasting late at night and the tv had different colored stripes on the screen. Early in the mornings, fighter jets came across the screen and they played the National Anthem, then they started broadcasting again.

The young guys at work didn't believe us.



Yep

The sign off was easy.

I remember the first color TV we got. Dad was transferred to Leanvenworth Ks. after getting back from Nam. We got a new color TV the day before Superbowl I, all the neighbors came over to watch Len Dawson and Otis Taylor lose to Greenbay.

I asked her once what she remembered as a little girl and she said that she remembered people talking about men flying in the air but it sounded far-fetched. She was talking about the Wright brothers and the first air flight.

I wish I'd asked her more about what she remembered and tape recorded or videoed it. She saw the inventions of airplanes, expansion of electricity, radio and television, expansion of telephones, World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, the Depression and everything else. Her husband died in 1959 so she was a widow for the last 24-25 years of her life. Tough as a nail and sweet as could be.

How about WLS Chicago or WWL New Orleans on AM late at night for Rock and Roll. Larry Lujack was the DJ at night on WLS. He was kinda the Wolfman Jack of the mid-west.

Anyone else listen to those?

Now this goes way back , you youngsters born after about 1970 don't know late night AM.

They sound a lot alike. I'd give anything for her to fix me another plate of her homemade hominy, boiled taters, fried okra and her cornbread.

Wild Kingdom was one of my favs; big Jim Fowler was a badass.
Remember an episode when they took on an anaconda and it about whipped both of them:

We got our first TV in 1954 when I was in the first grade. As I remember it came on about 3 o clock in the afternoon with a show called Tea Time, that my Grand mother always watched,and went off around 10 or 11. When it wasn't on, all you would see was a bulls eye with an indian on it. I remember staring at that screen forever waiting for something else to come on. The wind would blow the antenna and my Grandfather would have to go adjust it. Been a lot of changes in this old world in the last 70 years.

I'm thankful my uncle saved all her cast iron skillets. I wish I'd been smart enough to ask for and save her old cabinets and tools that were in her shed. I think he got a bunch of those, too. Lot of stuff she had that I wish I'd gotten that either are gone or in others' hands and I'll never see again.

Wild Kingdom was awesome.

The commercialization of shows and television (and radio) back then was IMO far more blatant than today, too. "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" ... who the hell knew what Mutual of Omaha was? But 40 years later, I remember (and know).

I remember it well. Also remember Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny on Saturday mornings. Too bad they deemed our cartoons to be too violent and took them off. Now look what the youth are doing. Killing,stealing,rioting .

And the Three Stooges and Georgia Championship Wrestling.

That was when shows came on once a week, other than some sports stuff. If you missed the Three Stooges or Georgia Championship Wrestling or Monday Night Football or All in the Family, tough. College football was two games on Saturday, two NFL games on Sunday, Monday Night Football, the Major League Baseball "Game of the Week" and ABC's Wide World of Sports for all the exotic stuff like downhill skiing, cliff diving from Mexico or desert auto racing.

And Curt Gowdy on the American Sportsman. Great show.

Dang straight Clem, I remember watching Pete Rose and the Big Red Machine on the Game of the Week. Wide World of Sports and American Sportsman were great shows. Good ol' days.

Saturday nights in Corpus Christie, TX was the first time my parents let me stay up as late as I wanted. Late night TV was Rasslin with my favorite Chief Wahoo McDaniel. After that came the weekly cheesy monster movie, which I loved, but I don't think I ever stayed awake for the whole movie.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I turn 40 in a couple months and I remember. I grew up an antenna turner. Dad had a Giant set of Vice grips attached to the pole that was for me to turn the pole for service. I remember how excited we were when fox 54 came on line because we got a new channel. LOL

Younger ones won't get that. I think signing off with Dixie might have been a radio thing. Anyone remember? I ain't as old as Troy, but pretty close.

I'm 54 and I remember it. I always thought it was cool to get to stay up that late with my Daddy. I also remember when I was a kid WBAM would sign off at night playing Dixie.



Are you ignoring me? grin


Sorry, not ignoring you but I did miss your Dixie comment. Gimme a break, it was 5 am. smile

I was just wondering if Dixie was only used for radio. I can't remember if TV used it too. 2dogs, I remember WWL and WLS very well. They were about the only thing you could hear on am at night. Most vehicles either had an am radio or nothing. I can remember driving to Selma with my dad to listen to Auburn football games on the rare times they played at night. Our home radio couldn't pick it up 12 miles from town. Shug Jordan never would let Auburn put lights on the stadium while he was coach; said football was meant to be played in the sunshine.

I got several of her cast iron pieces. The corn muffin pans shaped like ears of corn and blue gills, and a skillet that makes the wedges of cornbread. My oldest son got her bible.

No remote 3 channels we'd sit close enough to reach the knob to change channels.

Channel 19 Live Studio Wrestling with Grady Reeves on Saturday evenings.

The Gone Fishing show on channel 31 that was sponsored by Schlitz Beer and they drank thru the show. Those guys would be damn near slobbering drunk when the show went off. It was awesome to watch as a kid and understand what was happening laugh


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Tube type TVs back then. I remember we always had Philco black and white due to the availability of replacement tubes that my Dad would install when one "didn't light up". That's how you found the bad one. The horizontal output tube was a common failure.

That's awesome. I'll bet I haven't heard that intro in 30+ years. What a great memory.

"The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat" is about the greatest and most succinct summation of winning and losing that could be said.

That was also before the Little League World Series was corrupted by corporate greed via TV ratings and sales. And that poor bastard falling on the downhill ski ramp every week. He always recovered quickly! laugh

I remember the stations (all 2 of them) signing off and starting up with the National Anthem.

I remember watching a fishing show and they played this song as the intro.

We had cable outside Selma on Moore's Ferry Rd so far back HBO (only non broadcast channel available back then I imagine) only came on in the late afternoon. Early in the day it had the evenings coming attractions.


Who can remember the HBO guide? Or even the regular TV Guide for that matter.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
