Test Card F
All hail the almost 40 year old Test Card F. Before 24 hour TV it was shown regularly on British TV inbetween programs, I've read that it has been shown, at various times all over the world.

 It's a test pattern people used to use to fine-tune the color controls on their TVs...__________________

it shows up when a channel doesn't have a show playing... so pretty much never on us tv  like when there's a gap in their schedule that they don't fill up with even an infomercial__________________
