When I was 10-15 y.o. there were many times when I'd stay up well past midnight...or get up at 5am. (but probably not both in the same day!) I used to know all the station sign-ons and offs. A couple stayed on all night: I remember WMAR-2 in Baltimore airing "Private Secretary" at 3am. WRC-4 in DC would just have the station logo up with a periodic i.d. by the announcer. Many nights I'd fall asleep watching Letterman or SNL. If I was watching WRC, I awoke to the announcers voice in the middle of the night. If I was tuned to WBAL-11 I'd awake to what I thought at first was wild applause but it was actually static, as they'd signed off for the night. Around that time I picked up a 60s Emerson portable (still have it) with a sleep timer, so that solved the problem.
