[BC] Whilst warming the transmitter

[Steve Schoon]

A former boss of mine told me of his TV days of yore in the Des Moines 
market, where they had a camera pointing at an aquarium and played 
background music while warming up the transmitter.

Apparently, "Aquarium TV" ended up garnering quite a following!
