Hey Kid I know what you mean, for some reason I enjoyed watching TV stations go on and off the air, no reason why. I actually used to watch HBO do their daily tests at around 2:15 every afternoon (remember this was around 1980 to 1981 before they went 24 hours). Always enjoyed their 'good nite' and graphics that would accompany it.

i remember being younger and thinking it was so cool to watch tv stations go off air. no idea why but i almost felt as if they were playing it especially for me, as if no one else was watching at that time. i still dont understand what the "portions of today's programming have been mechanically reproduced" part meant. anyone?

[IanGorton]

Just another way of saying filmed or video taped.

[PoliceRPG]

Wow i always use to see this on TV not any more now its 24/7 on air.

[IanGorton]

I don't know if it's the same there but 24/7 programing hasn't improved TV

[Zacgrey]

They do have a new one, but use it very rarely. since they went HD its now the national anthem accompanied by shots of earth From MIR or a satalite in HD. But its very rare i think ive seen it twice since they went HD and a fall asleep to Wned every night

[THEMIKON8ER]

Yeah, Why did it make you sad?

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

Must've been "The Star-Spangled Banner" playing.

Why did it make you sad?

What time did WNED go off the air? I know it doesn't anymore.

[bigoaranget]

Looking at a TV Guide from 1983, WNED-TV went off-the-air between 12:30am-1:00am and signed-on daily at 6:30am

[whizkid515]

Jeez, I get up before then everyday!

[bigoaranget]

I remember WNEQ-TV. Only had about 6-7 hours of programming per day and started at 4:00pm daily (sometimes 3:30pm).

I believe the Canadian National Anthem was added in the late 80s when WNED-TV signed on with their new transmitter at Grand Island, NY.

[gluteous5]

remember wneq?? i think it was channel 23?

[greekguy1326]

This brings me back to the good old days! Great video! God Bless America!

[iharding]

Yay! Keith - I'd recognize your voice anywhere!

[fieldsfan336]

This really takes me back, I remember getting up early in the morning during the early 1990s to watch the start-up along with the NOAA Weather Radio simulcast, then AM Weather before getting ready for school (I was a bit of a weather freak back then)

[CelesteK]

Have you got anymore stuff from Channel 17?

[pookerville]

And here's a big difference-there's no Canadian national anthem after it!

[Retrontario]

Yes, they only started to run that in the late 80s.
