However, Music Box shut down at the start of 1987 and YTV went back to a nightly closedown although it did air a Teletext information service called Jobfinder for an hour after sign-off. In August 1987, Thames / LWT and Anglia began through-the-night broadcasting (Thames had already extended broadcast hours to around 4 am earlier in 1987).

I/O completion port loops run separately from the Message loop, and do not interact with the Message loop out of the box. The "heart" of most Win32 applications is the WinMain() function, which calls GetMessage() in a loop. GetMessage() blocks until a message, or "event", is received (with function PeekMessage() as a non-blocking alternative).
