Digital TV Transition: KABC

Last few minutes of KABC's analog signal with corresponding digital signal. I didn't have a way of truly synchronizing the recordings, so I just synchronized them by the video content. Normally, the analog signal is a few seconds ahead of the digital one.

I love how Mono and Stereo playing together in the video

hmmmmmmm

RIP Kmart: 8 AM - 1:30 PM Always in our thoughts and prayers

[@syxepop]

2020 Irons - the Kmart is gone nowadays, but what they were referring to is that the staff was to move at 1330 PST from that Kmart to another location shown at 1400 PST...

KABC Analog 7 (1949-2009) Digital 53 (1998-2009) Digital 7 (2009-today)

Two TVs and they sound very funny with the echoing!!!

I’ve never seen a living spaces commercial for a long time

[@muda3305]

The end is crazy

[@Megan-sf5vf]

You can the signal is getting weaker as the transmission prepares to go off

[@doloreshuntoon7698]

Thanks for the memories!

[@musickeys8]

I like the side by side view

[@jamieziegenhorn6611]

it's W A L M A R T

[@nakayle]

Excellent production but was the analog really that snowy or was that for effect?

[@RyanGonTV]

Analog isn’t mostly snowy, it’s when the transmitter is not transmitting enough power.

[@RyanGonTV]

Heck, you could use an amplifier, and it’s fine.

[@SerAbiotico]

It was really that snowy.

[@koppo5657]

@@RyanGonTV it's not always when the transmitter is not powerful enough. It also happens when you're too far away from the antenn

[@RyanGonTV]

@@koppo5657 You mean too far from the transmitter - not the aerial.

Sounds like it is played on a Big screen TV somewhere in a city

[@alexfloresaf38]

KABC current digital rf channel 53 has moved channel 7.

[@shanuthejackal4817]

Alex Flores Why are you everywhere

[@wesleytan6842]

They moved from UHF Ch. 53 to VHF Ch. 7, which had started operations since 1998. The government took UHF channels 52-69 for telecommunications and emergency use. Some channels retained their digital frequencies.

[@sh868sh]

R.I.P Analog TV around 1928~early 2018

[@syxepop]

sh868sh - I do believe the first experimental TV broadcasts in Cali were like in 1931 or so (1928 was for the East Coast), so it'd be 1931-2009 (yes, this video was from that year). Also, there are news the FCC finally will outlaw analog TV totally in US by next February (2021)...

what name of 2 report

*(echoing intensifies)*

[@YellowTreeBFDI]

Ahhhh.... classic living spaces commercial

[@12chapin]

We switched from analog to digital in '09, what we going to switch to in 60 yrs?

[@thevioletwild]

cable

[@ritchienavarro2920]

Streaming services on streaming devices.

[@syxepop]

12chapin - you may see the replacement in your lifetime, as there's already in 2020 some signals of the replacement (ATSC 3.0 replacing 1.0). There are some converter boxes for it and even WRAL in RDU-NC has put an alternative WRAL-EX signal, just like they did in 1998 for today's DT version on "1.0".

[@Iquitthischannelnow]

4:30 And the plug was pulled

[@jjovereats]

@grupopuntabanda Can you say that in French as well, coz Canada's made the ATSC decider.

[@sh868sh]

KABC-TV or DT - In next 4.5 min and Voilah! Digital!

[@jjovereats]

that was very anticlimactic.

[@Somekindamugaguy]

Well, at least you spelled "anticlimactic" right.
