On May 6, 1988, a Friday, after more than a year of preparation, BT Television's network finally officially launched.
With 112 affiliated television stations, BT Television's program coverage reached 37 states and 102 cities.
Inside the BT Television studio, 112 color TV screens displayed in real-time to the people inside what programs the 112 television stations were currently broadcasting to their viewers.
At 18:29:59, Tommy pressed the launch button.
As the launch button was pressed, the 112 screens on the walls of the studio immediately changed from chaotic to unified - a pure black screen with the letters BTTV and the channel LOGO appeared, below which was a phrase.
"Be Tale Crazy".
That was BT Television's promotional phrase, embedding the initials BT that represented the television station, and also indicating the style of BT Television.
Provocative, stimulating, challenging tradition, and walking on the edge of morality and law.
