CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS ON THE INTERNET 2007-2012

Main Page Updated Friday, 27 January 2012

This site is devoted to the memory of a bygone era in American broadcasting when all TV stations' programming ended at the conclusion of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show or The Late Movie. No homes were equipped with Direct TV DVRs and there was no such thing as "TV on-demand". This site will be featuring authentic recordings of U.S. television stations ending their broadcast day with the playing of the Star Spangled Banner (SSB), America The Beautiful (ATB) or some other patriotic piece before cutting the juice or going to a test pattern. With very few exceptions, all U.S. TV stations now operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, filling their overnight schedules with infomercials, home shopping fare, all-night network news, movies and daytime talk-show reruns.

To view the streaming video clips on this site, you will need at least a basic Broadband Internet connection (DSL/cable/WiFi), unless you are a dial-up user with an extraordinary amount of patience.

Thank you all very much for viewing my website. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
