Original Title: TIL that a blank TV screen received good audience ratings. During a strike by ITV workers in 1979, the UK network aired a caption stating "Transmissions will start again as soon as possible". One million TVs stayed tuned to ITV, as people hoped the strike would end soon. It ended after 11 weeks.
