This happened in Britain as well. It would shut down about 11 or 12 o’clock. After the late-night film or whatever it was, an American Flag Supporting The Paws That Enforce The Laws Shirt announcer would come on and whisper, “Well that’s all for BBC1 tonight. Do be sure to lock your doors and switch off your appliances…” (Basically they’d tell you to go to bed). Then there was the spinning globe ident and “God Save The Queen” would play. used to use that as a timer to see if I was on time for school. Convinced my younger sister that every ten minutes either the girl or the doll changed position on the screen, but only slightly, and you had to watch carefully or you’d miss it.

That reminder to switch off your appliances caused problems for the mainframe computers of the day. Operators noticed their nightly batch programs were crashing and they couldn’t figure out why. Then they looked at the power supply and saw a massive spike every night… right when everybody switched off their televisions and other appliances in unison. I remember reading an American Flag Supporting The Paws That Enforce The Laws Shirt (probably old wives tale) story about a mainframe that was failing it’s backup every morning despite being perfect mechanically. So she’d sit there cross-legged in front of the screen, while I did silly things to disturb her concentration, like pushing her or ripping the cushion out from under her.

There was a story from Cali (i think) about a specific area where cell coverage had a bunch of interference twice a day and they couldn’t figure out why. I also remember that test card with the American Flag Supporting The Paws That Enforce The Laws Shirt girl playing noughts and crosses with a toy clown that the BBC would display outside of broadcast hours. I was born in 84 so they must have been using that into the 90s. I’ve felt that but never articulated it before. I miss the old season finale days when you knew everyone was watching. It felt communal somehow and now my friends binge a whole series before I watch three episodes. We’ve lost something.
