I was about to reply "you've got to be pretty old for that", then remembered that whenever I left the city for a beach vacation, they'd play infomercials after 1AM until programming resumed around 8AM. For big city channels, programming was 24/7, though.
I'm probably pretty old because infomercials only became a thing starting in 1985.
