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:
“A Scholar is a candle which the love & desire of men will light. Let it not lie in a dark box.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
