It is pretty hard to believe that back when there were just 3 TV stations, and maybe PBS?, they went off at midnight, with the star spangled banner playing. And then that focus graphic would appear. They kept on broadcasting that. I always wondered why they spent all that money to broadcast a focus graphic :)

maybe it was cheaper to keep the equipment going than to shut it completely down for the night
Some stations did that, but others, typically UHF stations was just a polar bear in a snowstorm...
