This one's from the evening of June 12, 2009, the day most analog TV stations shut down. I managed to record two Dayton TV stations ending their analog TV transmissions with the first being WHIO channel 7 and then WKEF channel 22.
WKEF ends their analog signal with an old video of the National Anthem, just like how TV stations would go off the air back in the day before 24 hour a day broadcasting was the norm.
WHIO does a count down to end their analog broadcast but it doesn't go as planned and hilarity ensues. OK, not really hilarity but it's still kind of funny, especially when someone in the control room says, "That was kind of anticlimactic, wasn't it."
Seems there was less pixaling with analog. 7 October:
ReplyDeleteTHIS TV (45.2) has changed its programming; description does not match what is being broadcast. Also, noted a programming note: antenna users should re-scan after 18 October.
Tim heads up. Escape is now CourtTV Mystery. Sinclair Dayton may have ended ThisTV/MyNetworkTV and put on Dabl.
ReplyDeleteSinclair once again does the dumb stuff again.
