It was also a common experience for those of us who didn't have cable or satellite, with the only channels available being whatever came in over the air.

Even in more densely populated areas there were blank channels you'd flip through, and where I grew up there were only two channels that came in most of the time with another 1-2 that'd briefly become available at certain times of day or during specific weather where atmospheric conditions boosted the signal strength of those stations.
