H blanking fines went away about 1975, due in no small part to the use of
U-matic tape machines directly to air, and the high cost of tbcs.

I wish all stations were that responsive. I've talked directly with the
chief engineers at certain affiliates to discuss problems with certain
programs and audio channels (like the SAP). But the feedback I get is "it
sounds good in our master control."
Once I was told by the operator, "The picture looks fine on our lobby TV..."
It used to be that having wide H blanking, or video starting later than line
21 would bring the FCC in with a hefty $2500 or maybe it was a $10,000 fine.
Now, no one at the FCC can even turn on a waveform monitor much less read
pulse widths on one.
