AP, June 12, 2009 · Starting in the morning and going into the night, TV stations across the U.S. are cutting their analog signals Friday, ending a six-decade era for the technology and likely stranding more than 1 million unprepared homes without TV service.
... Here's my fanciful thought. Sorry, but many of you know I have a tendency for sci-fi as well as politics.
If anyone has seen "Contact", you know the story line: Aliens pick up our TV signals and send us a message.
What if all along, they've been watching our analog broadcasts? When we shut them off, the aliens will finally arrive, land in Hollywood and demand: "Hey, who canceled 'Gilligan'?"
