When that one station which was CBS failed this was what was left to watch...

Somehow we survived with one TV channel....

60's TV? I dunno I was a little too young to care much other than Andy Pandy, Magic roundabout, and stuff.

Just a big picture thing in the corner of the room that moved and had diverting flickering images on it now and again! :lol

Actualy come to think of it not much has changed:lol

I wonder if television repairmen worked late hours so they could use the calibration image...

No, the Drug Stores stayed open late so you could buy new tubes.

I was lucky, we had 5 TV stations in the 60's. ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and Channell 11 (Independent). 11 had all the good cartoons and old syndicated shows like Sea Hunt, I Love Lucy, 3 Stooges, ect. On saturday afternoons it was all old western reruns (The Rifleman, Lawman, Wanted Dead or Alive, ect) and country music shows (Porter Waggoner, The Wilburn Brothers, Cowboy Newton, ect.) Then, of course, on Saturday night it was wrestling from the Cowtown Coliseum followed by old bad horror movies.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

It doesnt seem so long ago that the National Anthem would play...and then the test pattern would pop on.

And on the lighter side, Red Skelton, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, and Ed Sullivan.

Great stuff.
