and then if you got up early on Saturday morning, this darn thing would be on! remember them playing our national anthem every night before signing off?
OMG! I remember that! LOL thanks for the memories. Oh, and don't let the President give a speech--all three channels were tied up and that evening's tv viewing went down the tubes.
I think that's a great page. It was just a few days ago that Mum and her sister were talking about this. I may be young but I certainly know where you're coming from. :)
Great page. I was just reading a book about early tv that made me laugh so hard. I remember when I was little sometimes we actually "WATCHED" the test pattern. There are a lot of people today who would wonder what we are talking about. Great history LO!
Journaling: When I was young, there were only 3 TV channels - ABC, CBS & NBC. We got our signal from a roof-top antenna. The networks ony broadcast a certain number of hours a day. When they went off the air at night, they put on the test pattern. How disappointing to be able to stay up late on weekends and nothing but test patterns on TV.
