Terrestial channels don't sign off but instead broadcast continuous news from midnight to 4am - the "dark zone". Satallite channels always sign off, apart from ASBC's 24-hour newsreel. The length of time they sign off for varies but will at the very least include the dark zone.

Update

Postby Zokoria » Sun Dec 23, 2012 11:08 am

ZTN signs off at 01:00 and signs on at 05:00. The other free to air channels (TV3, V4, Kanal 5, 7N) sign off at 01:30 and resumes at 05:00. Most cable/satellite networks run 24 hours a day.

Even if we switch off analogue TV on March 15, 2013, the closedowns will still continue.

Our big 3 channels (SVK1, Kanal 2 and YTV1) broadcast 24 hours a day. All of their sister channels do as well.

Many other smaller channels broadcast 24 hours a day too, and others don't.

All our official news is done by news blogs and public announcements via city-wide P.A. system. Owning a television is about the equivalent to masturbating to National Geographic in this nation. It's pretty trashy, and there's easier ways to do it. However, analogue radio is seen as perfectly reasonable. There are no regulations on it, so sign-off times are pretty inconsistent. The P.A. system will spew out news headlines and public service announcements every hour from 8 AM to 8 PM. We also have our own NPR, for some reason. That runs 24/7.

All the cartoon channels sign off at 10 PM and sign on at 6 AM (e.g. Cartoon Land). The educational channels sign off and sign on at the same time as the cartoon channels (e.g. Fun Learning). No other channels sign off or sign on, i.e. they run 24/7.

It used to, but now it's 24/7 since there's no point in doing since computers can now easily handle what goes on air from a set schedule. During the night it's mainly infomercials, random television programs/cartoons, movies, pornography, or the news on a repeat.

Television networks never sign off instead they show either re runs of old shows, mediocre movies or infomercials for filler.

The TV channels are on 24 hours, though during the night, they send mostly re-runs and private TV stations also will send infomercials during the night.
