How was I able to watch Mario gameplay on a black and white television without it being connected to a console?
This question has been on my mind since I was a kid but I just didn't understand how it even happened. This is what I did I changed it to a channel that had absolutely static most of the time but somehow it would sometimes show Mario gameplay but wasn't connected to a console. I can't remember the channel number but what I do remember is that it was channel I didn't watch. I really have no logical explanation for it. Either the channel being broadcasted picked up on a game console signal or the channel was an actual channel showing Mario gameplay in a commercial or something.

Back then, consoles connected to the TVs using the Coax port via an "RF Switch" (RF standing for Radio Frequency) which was tuned to channel 3 or 4 (or 2 or 3, depending on the system), where you were to choose an unused channel in your area to use to receive the signal from the system.
The signal was meant to be contained within the wires so only the connected TV receives the signal, but it could be possible that a neighbor's RF switch was damaged in the way that the signal leaked and you were able to pick it up on your TV via its antennae.
It could be the fault of some improperly connected coaxial cable or an illegal splice done to share cable with a neighbor. Back at the height of the Nintendo craze, there were also some local access broadcasters who aired game footage. It was also a thing at my college where they patched in video game footage while people played in the studio and talked about current events and stuff on campus while they played.
