On Thursday, January 20, 1994 Anik E1 and E2 suffered problems due to solar activity. E1 failed first at 12:50 (EST), knocking out satellite-delivered television signals in Canada.

Anik E2 goes back to the Analog satellite dish days. E2 was one of many satellites you could dial into back then. I remember it got damaged by a solar flare and knocked out a lot of television stations in the late 90's. E2 was destroyed because of it. Keep up the good work wow brings back memmories for me for sure i was 11 when this was around.

That beep at the end of this video, when I was a kid, that meant that I was up way past my bedtime.
It was so annoying back then, but now I kinda miss it...

Was there a sign-on for YTV like this video from the early-90s but with the sun not the moon?
-
I listened to this for so long that I couldn't hear the beep anymore.

I used to run something like 5:30am to midnight, right? Now it's 24 hrs.

Even as late as 1994 YTV was signing off at around 4:00am. No idea when they switched to 24 hours, but it would be interesting to find out!
