 Start the USA Intertel
As most American TV stations broadcast only on a single transmitter (as opposed to the multiple transmitters of many ITV contractors), the announcement would go into much more detail about the television station than a start-up in the UK ever would.
In some respects, sign-ons of TV stations in the USA were similar to start-ups of ITV regions.
The nuances may be different - Americans call it sign-on instead of start-up, and use different kinds of testcards, calling them test patterns - but the ways American TV stations and ITV contractors began their broadcast day prior to the era of 24-hour television broadcasting turn out to have been pretty universal.

The real thrust of your complaint would appear to be not fairness in the discussion of controversial issues but the elimination of violent TV children's programming because of its effect on children.
George D. Corey, a student at Suffolk Law School, brought this complaint against three Boston television stations -- WBZ, WNAC and WSBK -- charging that the children's programming carried by these stations contains inordinate amounts of violence.
Corey asks that, pending an investigation of these programs, we grant the stations only probationary license renewals, and that we require the stations to comply with the fairness doctrine by agreeing to present announcements warning of the dangers of violence in children's television.

First live network transmission of TV pictures from inside a manned U.S. space capsule in orbit: Apollo 7 There were six such broadcasts during their eleven-day mission.
First TV pictures transmitted from a manned U.S. space capsule, astronaut Gordon Cooper's "Faith 7." Because the picture quality is poor, only NBC carries the transmission, and on tape-delay, not live.

WNNE-TV argues that physically, economically, and in terms of coverage and programming, the relationship and nexus between a station and communities -- which WNNE- TV argues is central to a satisfactory showing for modification to add to a television station's market -- could not be closer than between WNNE-TV and the Communities.
WNNE-TV requests modification of its market to include the Communities, which are located in Sullivan and Cheshire Counties, New Hampshire, and Windham County, Vermont.
However, the location of these communities within WNNE- TV's Grade A service contour outweighs the lack of historic carriage.
