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:
“So in the dark we hide the heart that bleeds,
And wait, and tend our agonizing seeds.”
—Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
