TV Ended At Midnight??

But when I was a kid TV was on all night long with the showing of great old movies. I was a kid who never slept very much so I often spent time after midnight watching movies especially all those great monster movies from the 30s to the 60s. Then infomercials showed up and ruined late night TV forever.

Oh yes, I remember when TV ended at midnight. If I recall correctly, the last thing at night would be the playing of "God Save the Queen." Then in the morning, when TV started up again, it would start with the playing of "O Canada." Or else maybe they both got played at night. It's been so many decades now since I was a kid that I find my memory fading.

I'm a youngster, so TV never ended for me. Well, sometimes Nickelodeon would start playing those awful infomercials at some point.

When I was a kid I had stuff like USA up all night and Nick at Nite to accompany me through late nights during the summer and weekends.

Remember it well. And the Star Spangled Banner at midnight or so.
I remember test patterns too, ancient history.
