Depends on where you are. Electromagnetic emissions from the Earth
greatly increased after WW II with the advent of widespread television
broadcasting. This resulted in a veritable step function in the sphere
of energy expanding as it races away from the Earth at the speed of
light. On the very leading edge of that sphere of energy are the Howdy
Doody Show and the McCarthy hearings. This explains why no aliens have
ever visited the Earth. But it sounds like programming that's right up
your alley. If you can find that sweet spot in space, sit back and enjoy.
