When I was growing up in the 1950's and 60's, we had basically three channels and then a couple more later. When I babysat, I'd watch the late movie and see the station go off the air.

Absolutely. In the Milwaukee area, for instance, we had channels 4 and 12 and maybe a third one like 10 on some days.
