The other night I was trying to sleep during a thunderstorm. I could not do so, thus I turned my television on to "cancel out" the loud booming sounds.

I turned to the channel that displays the news for the day in words that scroll across the screen. These channels typically also play relaxing music in the background, which was what I wanted. I was looking at my wall, and suddenly there was a red glow on it. I turned to look at my television, and the screen was completely red. The music had also vanished. This lasted for about five seconds, and then the channel returned to normal.

What the heck was with the red screen? If there is a cable interuption, don't the coloured bars appear on the screen. I dunno, it kind of creeped me out. Why red?
