    Probably not, if I had to guess.

    I suppose it depends on where you draw the line though. I’m old enough to remember when public access channels would sign off, and some other local ones would have “no programming” listed in the TV guide for the overnight hours. But largely, I remember the infomercials or silent ads that were either static text on a screen or delivered like a news ticker.
