That's a misnomer, actually. Television broadcasts only travel about 50 years before disintegrating into oblivion. It's true transmissions can travel for millions of years but only if either exceptionally narrow or at extremely high power, by comparison. Either way, there's no alien colony in the Andromeda galaxy who will catch first-run episodes of "The Honeymooners".
