Recently I was thinking about the motion of the Earth and wondered how that could affect the reception of TV and radio broadcasts.  The broadcasts go straight out from the antenna, but since the Earth is contasntly moving, surely nobody can really be in the direct path of the signal.  But I suppose since the broadcast signals travel at the speed of light, any difference in position due to the Earth's motion is probably miniscule by the time the signal reaches you.

I wonder what the broadcast signals would look/sound like from a point in space though..  As the broadcast source would be constantly moving and rotating, I'd imagine there would be some sort of affect (doppler or similar?)..
