KYW-TV Philadelphia (CBS Channel 3) Analog TV Simultaneous Shutdown - Episode 1 [HD - 1080p]

[@ClassicGaminer2014]

(2/29/23) IMPORTANT UPDATE - PLEASE READ! Due to the countless amount of people posting timestamps on the remake of this video, I decided to keep it private. There are a couple of reasons why I privated the video, but it's mostly because I felt I did a dirty work by simply freebooting it. I simply let the video go on for long because I wanted to simulate the analog shutdown like if it were to happen in real time. But because I used Dave Webb and Randreash's videos, it felt it was more of a freeboot than anything else. Hell, on the remake of the video, I put my friggin' watermark on the top right corner of Mr. Webb's video like was my own work when IT WASN'T. I feel like a massive friggin' idiot for doing that, and that's not acceptable. I sincerely apologize for that. It's pretty much the reason why I kept the KPIX, WABC and the remake of the KYW analog shutdown video private. I highly encourage everyone to watch Mr. Webb's colored version of KYW's digital switchover.

I also want to apologize for not crediting the person who took this picture, I only noticed this image when I ran into it a while back that I used it for this video without even crediting it and getting permission from the user.

I would've, but I'd prefer not to turn it off. I even tried putting a warning that the timestamp is on the video if they looked further but the timestamp comments kept on going, besides I think the video was done badly when I remade it and I would like to remake when I feel like it.

the sad part: CBS Logo with "Goodbye"

It’s really ominous looking. They’re probably gonna show it again during the end of the world

What does the sign the man at 0:39 is holding say?

[@ClassicGaminer2014]

It was a sign/board showing the Zappos logo, an online shoe and clothing shopping brand. I believe it was cut off for a split second after the test pattern was shown because both formats (analog and digital) were broadcasting the same thing. I might be wrong, but hopefully any philly KYW viewers would correct me on that if I'm wrong.

So did this happen to anybody with old non digital cable boxes or just people with antannas? Because in our house at the time we had digital cable in our downstairs but not upstairs. But when the switch happened the tvs upstairs didn't go static.

[@evanbv8793]

Only if you used an antenna and you used an old analog only CRT TV but if you had a converter box or a digital television you were good. If you had a newer TV you could still watch the shutdown because newer tvs still have analog tuners in them as well so you'd pick up both signals.

It was actually so sad that, being the US 3rd oldest TV license (turned on just 2 months after the NYC pioneers and the oldest outside of NYC) that they didn't called more into their almost 68 years of analog history too do a proper send off. They should found a test card with the proper WPTZ (the station was founded by Philadelphia's own Philco Corp.) call sign letters it had on Day 1...

0:39 It's the Zappos man! Yay!

The Zappos man was holding a box. It was a Zappos commercial.
