Rarely I spot one over here...
They however always remind me of those guys:
And I'm positive it has this:
I'm old enough to remember local tv stations didn't broadcast all day long. The off the air symbol would display until something came on....late '50's, very early '60's. That was eventually replaced, during the day, with old newsreels, then with really bad local country/western bands playing live....I really missed the off the air symbol from that point on. Eventually local networks filled in their daytime lineup.Back OT...

Prior any broadcast they showed the "ORF hole" (like A_hole
)

Yup, our Kmart had a counter at the back center of the store.
Could that have been Kresge, before it became K-Mart?
Kresge! There's a name I haven't heard in a long time!!
