Early 1985 to be exact. A&E;'s sign off indicated they were already transmitting from 8AM-4AM ET, which they started doing so in early January 1985 after securing HBO's former F3R transponder 24. It looks like they were also dual feeding the evening portion still on Nick's transponder space for cable companies that couldn't take the full feed (of which there were quite a few still in those pre-N@N days) They stopped doing that not long before Nick expanded to 24/7 with Nick at Nite.

Yes, this is what A&E USED to show. Just like Bravo was originally concerts, ballet performances, etc, not an endless catalog of vapid "reality" shows too often featuring an entire group fighting to see who is more narcissistic.

Is it just me or does that 800 number that ends with the word arts show up a lot on different commercials like the drawing test and then the books to fix your house and then order that exercise equipment and whatever else?

800 is the business area code so yeah youre gonna see that in commercials sometimes

I noticed that as well. 800-228-ARTS. Love to know the story behind that. Imagining calling and having some older woman who's throat is ravaged by smoking answer, "What the hell do ya want?" "I'd like the art test, please." "Whatever, hang on, kid, I'll transfer ya." *hangs up*

The DTMF tones were to alert the cable companies that they had to put in the local advertisements if available.
