> [@EnthusiasticMedia](#): > > Do they close the curtain during broadcasts? I believe so, though when I walked past it was before 8:00am in the morning. I also went past it on my previous visit to Adelaide in December 2021, and the curtains were indeed closed which suggests that they do so when the 6:00pm news is on so as to not let the light get into the studio and/or the presenters get distracted (if that makes sense). ---

Most people in LA will get by without broadcast TV because most have it delivered by cable. However, it has a big driving culture where broadcast radio is relied on; though there are plenty of other stations to choose from. ---

Correct - the local ABC services were wiped out in that awful fire which led to a local community station agreeing to broadcast ABC Radio and it’s emergency warnings while the main signal was down. Can’t remember if all or only some TV was impacted, but it definitely took a lot of services off air for some time. ---

> [@tamago\_otoko](#): > > Can’t remember if all or only some TV was impacted, Sure was! The whole facility was destroyed. Not sure if SBS was in that building, but ABC took a long time to get back on the air. It had a temporary arrangement with WIN (I think) to use one of its multichannels to broadcast the main ABC channel. ---

That’s right. Didn’t the ABC facilities burn down but the old GLV8 tower mostly survive? I remembered the commercial services fared better but couldn’t remember how much better.
