The television landscape turned neon colors with the rise of 24-hour programming with growing cable/satellite subscription services.

I miss the old Superstation. It had something for everyone. "If you think a 401K is your mother-in-law's bra size, you might be a redneck."

It's only in hindsight that I realized how having my TV come alive after midnight changed everything that happened to me in the 80's. 24-hour television had a positive effect on all the commercial channels in the Seattle media market, and even PBS seemed to get into the act as Bernie Clark, station manager of KCTS-Seattle, moved to a 24-hour schedule. I know I went to sleep daily during the 1980's, I just don't remember when! |

Rescuers commercial breaks on TBS in 1995. "If you think a 401K is your mother-in-law's bra size, you might be a redneck."
