I know you old timers will. 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 remember having black and white only and having to get up to turn the knob to change channels.

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.

I remember them signing off at night with the National Anthem and the video of the American flag waving in slow motion.

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.

Yep, three UHF channels and the PBS channel. You whippersnappers with 43,938 channels and Netflix Roku laptop videos don't have a clue.
