On February 28, 1983, a wartime surgeon named Hawkeye said “Goodbye, farewell, and amen.” Ten years later, Mayday Malone straightened a picture on the wall and turned out the lights for the last time. In millions of living rooms across the country, viewers sat quietly through these final moments, saying goodbye together. The credits rolled, but no one moved.

Carried freely through the air, broadcast television invited participation without qualification. The same signal that arrived at a downtown apartment also reached a home on the edge of a country road. Broadcast television created a quiet cultural leveling, allowing audiences to form connections not just with stories, but with one another.

The Blackwing 343 is a tribute to broadcast television and its impact on our collective culture. Each limited edition A5 (148 x 210 mm) medium notebook features a color bar cover inspired by the NTSC test pattern, 160 pages of 100 GSM ruled paper, and a Vol. 343 pencil loaded in the pencil holster. This notebook also features special silver gilded edge pages inspired by the "TV snow" on early CRT televisions.
