When  Professor Tom talked about special bulletins I remember when I was a kid when the TV flashed "Special Bulletin"  everyone ran to the TV and  knew that a war began, ended, President was shot, or died.  There was no TV interruptions for sports figures signing on or off a team.  Today if someone breaks a toe nail it seems it makes headlines.  Does anyone remember when TV went off around 2am and you would get a circle with buzzing noise?

    I remember that our local stations used to play the Star Spangled Banner while the flag displayed on the air. It went to static after that.

    Yes,I remember the emergency broadcast system. And the loud buzzing sound to let us know about the test. And then you would here the saying " this is the american broadcasting test".
