I forget sometimes that most folx younger than me can’t remember a time when TV just went off the air at night. No infomercials, or reruns… just dead air.

Like, there are more obvious big deal changes that have happened in my lifetime. That one definitely blew some of my younger friends’ minds today though.

@Lisa 🦔 Seriously, can't imagine what the world must be like not remembering the analogue world even a little.

I was just talking about that with my family last week. If you fell asleep with the TV you'd wake up to static or the TV test pattern.

many radio stations would go off the air at e.g. 1 or 2 am. sunday night (monday morning, really) for maintenance.
