2011 Canadian Digital Switchover ads (HD)

[@SigmaRho2922]

One month before Canada's digital switchover, Japan experienced its digital switchover. At noon on July 24, 2011, the country's analog transmitters were to switch off. However, after technical issues occurred during a 2010 test shut off of the analog signals at the Noto Peninsula relay site, the government announced that the signals would shut off at midnight. The networks still chose to end programming at noon on July 24, and therefore a blue information screen was displayed for twelve straight hours before the transmitters signed off at midnight. The switchover would be delayed in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures because of the areas mentioned suffering severe damage in the March 2011 earthquake, and the analog signals in those prefectures switched off at midnight on March 31, 2012.

[@SnapshotOfASoul]

These bring back a ton of nostalgia from watching TV late at night at someone's house, she had a HUGE new HDTV but no cable because it was prohibitively expensive. They used an antenna and we'd get these ads and a bar on the bottom of the screen warning about it. Also, "watching using cable and satellite" also died within five years in our market. It's all HDMI wifi boxes now, coaxial is all but useless because SDTV is no longer a thing

[@MasterofWindowsXP]

Citytv stations in Winnipeg, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary are converting their transmitters to digital in August, 31, 2011!

The part they left out: If you're not in a very large city, you'll pay a fortune to watch any TV at all, unless you're in Windsor.

[@syxepop]

Windsor is NOT small (~ 250K pop.) , just the Ontario side of Detroit. People there have 2x as much broadcast TV as in many places, as they do pull all the US broadcast stations from Detroit + the Canadian ones from Windsor itself (at 313km / 194mi is too far to receive broadcast signals from Toronto, unless on Cable or Satellite).

[@morganrussman]

@FairyGardens TV honestly, when my family switched to Verizon wireless (one of the United states cell phone company providers) in 2011, I didn't understand that we would end up getting a hotspot, I thought that we'd have to have our wifi cards replaced with a cell phone capable card's and i wouldn't be able to access a wifi network anymore, now I know differently.

[@morganrussman]

@FairyGardens TV As you can tell, I had a semi similar experience to the experience that you had back then.

In my area CICC TV CTV Yorkton is still on analog ch 10 formerly CKOS TV CBC Yorkton one of the last areas in Saskatchewan with analog besides the repeaters

[@1L6E6VHF]

I have fond memories of seeing the TV stations in Saskatchewan in the early eighties (this was made possible by an irregular condition called Sporadic-E skip). This was when TV stations were usually off the air. The most memorable DX opening was in the winter circa 1982. The newly-constructed Channel 3 station in Warmley, Saskatchewan started repeating other stations, and suddenly, Channel 5 stations (Chicago, Cleveland and Bay City, MI) were being repeated, very confusing! Sadly, the Warmley station was shut down only a few years after it had opened.

[@TheCanadianToast]

I know that this was back in 2011, but as of 2016, Shaw sold Shaw Media to their other company, named Corus Entertainment, meaning that Corus Entertainment is now the owner of all Global canadian TV channels. Shaw sold Shaw Media to Corus Entertainment because Shaw acquired Freedom Mobile, and the money gotten from the sale will help Shaw fund Freedom Mobile.

Now that the dust has settled. Anybody know why they did this? Better picture quality doesn't seem like enough of a reason to mandate it.

Feel like I remember reading or watching something that it had to do something with freeing up channels for government communications and/or mobile towers.
