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:
“Traveller take heed for journeys undertaken in the dark of the year.
Go in the bright blaze of Autumn’s equinox.”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
