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!

I'm imagining a great sf novel which begins:

"The sky above the port was the color of a television tuned to a channel swamped by a billion competing pirate tv stations after the FCC was shutdown."
