Analog TV Shutoffs Collection

[@arsturbuther]

For such a historic moment, you'd think that more stations would put some effort in before turning off their signal.

[@kaboomgamer333]

Yea, only about 30 actually aired something exclusive to Analog users, even though they did miss a few good ones like WTVJ and (mentioned in comments) WKRG.

I love when they slowly lower the voltage on the antenna instead of just cutting it off instantly. It's a different type of feeling watching it slowly fade to salt & pepper static.

[@LinkRocks]

I liked that too. It looks cooler than the sudden flip of a switch most stations went with.

[@justcama]

@@LinkRocks I have an FPV drone (BetaFPV Cetus Pro) which broadcasts analog signal to the goggles. When the voltage gets low, it does the same thing. It's fascinating!

[@haroldhechinger5850]

WLWT 5 in Cincinnati (38:55) handled the transition the best. Previous to the shutdown, WLWT ran a 25-minute video of their history. The announcer for WLWT's signoff came out of retirement to bid everyone good night for the last time on analog. For the night light program, they are the only station I am aware of that did their own version. You can see it at the end of the clip. A couple of days later they started playing the NAB night light program.

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

I think WNBC handled it pretty well too. They played a cute little montage after shutting off the nightlight.

[@SuperBloxTube]

Yeah, these are definetly some of the best ones in the US. Elsehwere, I also like the Channel 7 ones in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, the S4C Wales one (note: the S4C one is not in English) and the BBC One sign off in Wales and the BBC One and BBC Two sign offs in Northern Ireland.

I'm from the Cincinnati area, and I can wholeheartedly agree.

[@Enderman1462]

I agree, i like it because they even said the history of their channel

[@komasanclone]

There are three types (i think) of analog switchoffs: 1. A heartwarming sign-off before cutting the transmission 2. Some information before the switchoff 3. A hard slap across the face with some tv static

[@vaporcran3]

4. Countdown and then static.

[@Toads_Are_AWESOME]

5. The analog shutdown place thingy

[@SigmaRho2922]

July 24, 2011 was an important day in Japanese television history in that television stations across the country ceased broadcasting on their analog signals. What was unique about this was that every television station had to transmit an information screen between noon and midnight on that day on the analog signal. The transmitters shut off at midnight that day. The switchover in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima was delayed because of the three prefectures suffering severe damage in the Tohoku earthquake in March 2011 and digital switchover would take place on March 31, 2012 in these areas.

[@nolo1337]

you know its still possible to make something to broadcast analog tv, i bet if you kept it quite nobody would say anything, however speaking on the world wide point, make sure its not on anything commonly used in that area or nothing good will come of it might take a long time could never happen but if it does it wont be good.

[@QueenDynamo]

The information screen was their "nightlight service".

[@SigmaRho2922]

@@QueenDynamoyep. But it only ran for nearly 12 hours. For cable services, analog transmission was ended between 2013 and 2016 depending on the provider. For most providers the information screens were used as well but they were broadcast for 30 days.

[@SigmaRho2922]

Original plans called for analog television signals in Japan to shut off at noon, but there were technical issues that were discovered during a July 2010 test digital switchover in northern Ishikawa prefecture (Noto Peninsula). This is where the information screens came in.

Also, the WFAA-TV signoff is pretty unique, and hits close to home because some family lives in that channel's broadcast area.

I remember that day well. The original date for the analog TV shutoff had been set for February - but they changed their minds and changed it to June. I knew that this meant that the transition was going to be right smack into the Sporadic-E season (Sporadic-E is an phenomenon in which VHF radio waves may be reflected back to Earth, about 1000 miles afield). My local station WJBK (Channel 2) was already getting interference from other Channel 2 stations as early as 8:00! I also noted that WRC-TV (Washington) was also being interfered with.

[@jctotboiofficial]

[@TheOFFICIALKingsIslanderALT]

6:59 this is provided by: static analog

[@andysrandomness]

A part of me misses analog because some stations 80 miles away could be pulled in but with digital not so much

[@AvalancheAnimations1]

Why do I find it so funny when they countdown 3. 2. 1. and then it just goes completely blank.

[@tsukiiiiiii]

Fun fact: If you are listening to this on headphone, you will notice that the audio on KCPQ shutdown only plays on the left and not both.

[@WeBareBearsFanOfficial]

[@unnamedscribble-auttp]

i love how it was just hanging on by a thread

[@SymbolOfPeace8]

I also wonder when the Transmitter and Repeater stations had to go DTV. Repeater and Transmitter stations broadcast on low power and a weaker frequency and take up less broadcasting frequency space. That’s why cellular companies were much less interested in the near future for those less stable UHF bandwidths during the forced mandatory FCC Repack deal that was finalized in the Autumn of 2008 and the subsequent national DTV switchover of early 2009.

[@maxithefox2389]

the low power tv channels were originally scheduled to sign off in 2015 but were given till June 13th 2021 before they either had to go DTV or shut off

[@QueenDynamo]

​@@maxithefox2389 Correct. All low-power tv stations on analog aka repeater staions had switched off their analog transmitters last July 2021.

[@SoyLuciano]

​@@maxithefox2389In Alaska, the transition was completed in 2022 for low-power stations.

[@kaiosobreira]

Believe it or not. In my city there was analog signal until 2022. I was honestly pissed when they turned it off

[@Mohithrg-o2r]

Very cool. In my city, analog got shutdown way long back in 2013 itself and I'm from India. I was excited that time. Nowadays I miss those days of analog. They were great.

[@tbird2013]

@kaiosobreira do you live in a developing country

[@IM_ROCKSHROOM]

16:57 that pun was so bad they took it off air

[@bluethunderpowergaming5056]

[@CourageFanClub-hn2sobd]

They have found what I was looking for. Silence.

[@ryansmurda1552]

Liked the one that played the REM end of the world song.

[@beatoaviation]

Broadcast i think play 23:54 and Play sungale play 25:24 Serios 27:24 Analog Yeah this What happen 34:47 and 45:04 Pause / Play

[@saxonwax]

you could tell some of these programmers just could not wait to hit the button - and some didn't even realize that the shut off would happen so abruptly almost every broadcast of the anchors in the control room got cut too short. a phenomenon that marks the end of an era that I hope never happens again.

[@SpikeShooter92]

sad the two stations representing my state here -WHDH and WSBK- didn't do anything special for the occasion, especially the latter given it's mark on tv history as a once national superstation in the analog era

[@25COfficial]

It's sad that times flies so fast

[@C-Midori]

30:48 Movin’ and Groovin’ Time- *P A H*

42:10 The following is a paid presentation. The views expressed on this program are not necessarily the views of the management or ownership of this station.

[@tulpamedia]

I love the one that played its the end of the world as we know it during their final moments of analog transmission. Something about that clip is very poetic

[@drewnewfire]

Thank you for the warning with the headphones because on some videos I've seen of analog shutdown, I've gone deaf for 1 minute lol

[@MarkWhich]

Biggest problem was your indoor antenna, the analog picture at least gave you idea of what direction to point it in, digital is just guesswork, and much more frustrating.

[@DumbCrumbFR]
