+holly pietrzak It was common for stations around the 70's and 80's to completely shut off their transmitters than leave the color bars up all night. Stations stopped shutting of their transmitters at night and just left the color bars up until sign on around the mid-to-late 80's and early 90's. However, I've seen stations continue to shut off their transmitters entirely at night as late as the year 2000!
