staying up to midnight on rare occasion and watching the TV channels go off the air. No infomercials, no reruns, no news people trying to say something important at two in the morning. Midnight came, they said a little something about the station’s channel and broadcast capacities, played the national anthem, and then test pattern. Sometime in the early morning they’d fire the whole station back up again with a news or farm show.
We did okay, in fact we did better than okay. Some people think its the end of the world but more often than not I think its just a matter of TV trying to fill empty air with empty news.
