In the broadcasting industry, a dark or silent radio or television station is one that has gone off-the-air for an indefinite period of time. Unlike dead air (broadcasting only silence), a station that is dark does not even transmit a carrier signal.
Famous quotes containing the word dark:
“How it infuriates a bigot, when he is forced to drag out his dark convictions!”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
