Used to watch the Today Show with Jane Pauley and Bryant Gumbel back in the day. Got one live football game on Sundays - started about 7pm because of the time difference. Bunch of shows were delayed or reruns.

When I lived in military housing in Wiesbaden W. Germany, AFN was received on a UHF channel that was transmitting from a low-power translator station in the housing area. Each housing area had its own transmitter to keep the German population from being able to receive the signal. The antennas had a directional pattern to cover the specific area. Thus, those Americans not living in the housing area also could not receive it. Glad to see technology advances serve that group, too.
