Default Re: TV Transmitter Close Down/Start Up Routines?

For quite a few years now, as we all know, all transmitters are on the air 24/7/365, so how do they monitor transmitter performance as there is no 'dead time' in which to send test signals, and, of course no Test Cards. Obviously TV service engineers can use pattern generators, etc. when setting up/repairing receivers and other video equipment, but what happens at the broadcasters end?
