Iraqi TV is back on the air, alas, after being knocked out for a few hours.
All but one of Iraq's three television channels was back on the air on Wednesday after overnight coalition air strikes severed transmissions. The state television channel was blacked out for 45 minutes after the strikes but was back Wednesday airing news bulletins and old footage of patriotic clips and military parades as usual.
The satellite television was also broadcasting, after several hours off the air. But the Youth television of President Saddam Hussein's elder son Uday were still cut following the bombings that targeted the television building in Baghdad and transmitters.
The compound which was hit included the state television, Youth television, Kurdish radio and television channels as well as radio studios. The television building is close to the information ministry, which tightly controls all media in Iraq and oversees a formidable propaganda machine.
The raids came after the state broadcaster in recent days carried grisly footage of dead US soldiers, interviews with shaken prisoners of war and assurances from the regime that Saddam remained in control. source

Thanks, you might want to make sure no liquids or semi chewed food is in your mouth before you read or look at one of my threads.
Humor is a smart bomb against the left maggots here and around America.

I think we're getting ourselves confused here.
It looks to me like Iraqi TV was back on after being hit yesterday, but it's back off due to being hit today. Yesterday we didn't knock it completely out, today we knocked it completely out.
That's what it seems like to me, anyway.

This station is no more, it has ceased to exist, it has gone to meet its maker, it is an ex-station.Well, we'd better replace it, then. Sorry Saddam, we've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of transmitters...we've got a slug...
