and that was a loooooong time ago, I.used to love watching the test pattern at the end of the TV broadcasting day. That was immediately after the 11:00 news back in those days. This was before Jack Parr even! 😬 Now there's a name only we oldsters would know. Anyway, that Native American in the full headdress used to fascinate me. And this was in black and white. I'm old.

Always the national anthem. Back then it seemed to mean a lot more than it does today, at least for me.

The test pattern would be on for a few minutes until the noon news came on.

We used to listen to radio every morning until TV came on. That may explain why I like oldie doo wop and big band music.

Is there a source (link) saying that all hosts who promoted falsehoods must be cancelled?

Thank you!

This article spells out who have been suspended. I suspect that suspension will lead to cancellation as in Dobbs's case.

I hope so. He is such a loser. If you ever listen to him, he makes no sense. He can only complain and never has a constructive response to his criticism.

...until I realized MyPillow's Mike Lindell would be off limits.
And the "male enhancement" ones are a definite no-go.

Maybe some catheter ads?
