Remember kids: if the government shutdown this weekend, that includes the FCC.
I've got my RF modulator hooked up already. NTSC analog TV on VHF channel 6 is ready to go the instant the government shuts down.
Pirate TV forever!

@luna @foone It's a thing because our dysfunctional Congress couldn't even pass a bill in the House of Representatives to keep funding the government until today. It's not even a disagreement between parties. Rather, the Republican house majority couldn't even agree on something to pass. If the Senate approves the House bill, we won't have a shutdown (for now). Gift link: https://wapo.st/3ZE1jId
House fails to pass short-term funding bill as shutdown looms
