End of analog TV in NYC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2009
- This is raw video of the 1230pm analog TV shutoff in New York City on 6/12/09. Here, channels 7,11,and 13 turn off their analog signal, channel 4 goes "nightlight" The sound is from channel 7. The shutoffs begin at the 4:40 mark.
Channels 2 and 9 signed off later in the day.
For those of you who don't seem to get it, these are analog TVs hooked to rabbit ears. They are SUPPOSED TO go to static at the appointed time.

yeah i remember when we had that DVB-T shutdown they were always like "dont worry nothing will change". to be honest DVB-T2 is much worse

To be honest, I am just *obsessed* with these analog sign off videos as well as old TV sign offs, and I have no idea why. It’s just really cool to look back at the past and feel some sense of similarity and nostalgia for a time you didn’t get to experience, I guess it’s similar to why history buffs like watching documentaries - you’re reliving a moment that can only be experienced once. It’s just so intriguing.
YES
me too even tho im not from the us
OMG SAMEEE
Same
I was just old enough to remember analog tv
Am I the only person who sill enjoys watching these analog sign-off videos?
!no! me too .
+Nokorola I still watch these videos and I love them, in fact I have multiple little 100 mW video senders, blonder tongues and a little TV transmitter kit from Ramsey electronics that I still do analog tv simulations, I have 5 of these Ramsey kits and I also have a blonder tongue 3 of them that I use to add simulations as well as 10 Nippon Wireless UHF Video TV Senders. The video senders are the ones I actually hooked up to my tv antenna so that those in nearby neighbor hoods can pickup there local tv channels since I use a DTV converter box and I have 10 of them all of which are used for the video senders or blonder tongue transmitter to give our neighbors analog TV from our analog to digital TV converter box and since many lost the ability to access TV after September 1st 2015 when all the low power boosters and translators stopped broadcasting as required by law issued by the FCC. So Where I live there is very hard to get digital tv, but I actually get far better OTA DTV reception because of the height of our house and the antenna on Top of the roof that allows for it to be picked up + we are on the hill so we broadcast pretty good range I have been able to pick up my video senders even down in valley till 3/4th of the town and oddly these video senders claimed they were 100 mW which is complies with FCC part 15 standards. But wow they sure don't act like it. But being a Ham radio operator I definitely know that using an antenna on a rooftop to pick up channels and then re-broadcast them into the second rooftop antenna isn't the best deal to help my neighbors pick up the DTV stations in analog because they prefer NOT to use cable and are struggling financially so buying a DTV box ($89 is "cheapest lowest cost" for these boxes isn't going to help them at all, but what I am doing works very well my neighbors who rely on me as their TV source since the FCC is in my belief, not in the public interest as it was back in the early days of the FCC, They seem to love to help Ham radio operators like me but they don't like to help the public which is quite frustrating since there is very few ham radio operators but way more public services who aren't getting helped at all or if any very few, it's all about big money payments with the FCC which it wasn't always that way, but they got too big and things got out of control and chaotic and getting the equipment for good price on eBay and for $30 from amazon for and 360 degree directional antennas two of which I bought so $60 total with tax another total of $60.78 there definitely worth the money. However I am definitely looking to buy another 8 converter boxes so in total 18 converter boxes in all so that my neighbors can get the sub channels as right now I only have the main channels on my video senders and 3 sub channels on my blonder tongue in total there are around 9 sub channels in our area so it would help my neighbors greatly they said so definitely something for a future project. I still enjoy watching these sign offs, I was at work that day so I didn't get a chance to video tape the historic moment which was quite sad, wished I could have it would have been something quite awesome but oh well glad there are other UA-cam users who caught this historic moment and yes took the time to video tape and document the historic moment greatly appreciated.
+Ian Homan Yeah, back in 2009 I snagged one of those UHF video senders before tgey disappeared from eBay, and I love it. I thought about doing something similar to what you did but routing the outputs over coax cable through ny house so that i could use yhe.tuners built.into old TVs and equipment I have. Also, I'm pretty sure they moved back the low power shutoff date since the LP analog station in my area is still broadcasting.
In fact, I should make a video about analog TV as it stands today to update my old video.
+Nokorola Yes please do a video on that Low Power analog TV station that's still on the air, if it's on Channel 6 analog, it doesn't need to shutdown because the broadcasters found a loophole that channel 6 allows for them to be on the radio because channel 6 analog audio channel be heard on 87.7 MHz which is 87.7 FM so since they heard they can be heard on the radio they pushed the FCC and congress to allow channel 6 analog Low power stations to remain on the air after September 1st 2015 because if they shut down the analog signal then they can't be heard on the radio which they refer to them selves as frank en tv stations or frank-en FM stations won't be able to produce advertising revenue so they will lose the ability to provide the community with service of local programming which isn't populated by the main stream media corporate stations, which in return means the community doesn't feel connected to their local broadcasters, which can be a huge economic struggle for big wig stations, which is why many died silently, without a big bang on June 12th 2009 . So many LPs cater music and for video have a video on loop as video is required by the FCC but the LPs due service to the community like music or programs that isn't served by the big wigs and in return they have mow profit from their station than the big wigs do which is huge in the broadcasting world. Because of this loophole that the LPs found in Channel 6 it means they like many stations in ham radio went under the radar when we setup low power repeaters because of loopholes in the laws and loopholes in the way that particular broadcast technology works and the science behind such frequencies. All of which combined can make that particular technology or technology for any matter can be huge deal in surviving a major change in the technology industry if you have loopholes in the laws in your state or country and also in the scientific aspect for the technology its self.

I'm born in 97' and lived through the NTSC era. A year before digital TV occured, I had cable and when June 12, 2009 at 12:30pm hit, I still had cable and nothing happened. It's now been 14 years since Analog TV ended. NTSC was an American household staple and will always be forever in our hearts.

Man, what a time capsule of 2009.
Thank you for sharing this! Was a historic moment and to capture certain channels to shut down, this will be a thing that the younger generations won't know and won't understand what a change this was.
I'm young and I understand this.
Since analog televisions have lower pixels, the channels decide to be ONLY DIGITAL so viewers can watch in high definition resolutions.
+omgitzernesto that's not the full reasoning behind the digital transition. it was easier for the day and age to go digital and cheaper than to use the old analog broadcasting system. Check here, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_television_transition_in_the_United_States
Excellent video. In Brazil, the shutdown of the analog signal starts this year (yes, we are very late).

Wow funniest comment on this comment section!
Nothings changed!
Notice that TV has all but died since 2009? That's because large parts of America have no access to TV. Stations in the Midwest that people could watch(though fuzzy) with rabbit ears no longer exist. Thousands of people don't have the money to install expensive antennas and in my case, the nearest channel is 45 miles away and it's hopeless to watch it without stutters and blue screens even with a 15ft antenna. Most Americans have internet so it's very logical to just use Hulu or free services. I'm also disappointed in the lackluster efforts to recycle CRT's. Millions of CRT's were THROWN away, leaking toxic chemicals into landfills. The Government at a federal and local level really botched the transition.
4:51 "Nothing's Changed!"
Channel 7's switch comes into effect.
No letting the news end before switching to digital? No goodbye message? No, nothing!
Digital TV turns off first when Bill pushes the button.
@@shenghe9876 No, but WNET-13 is first.
It is when it is on WABC-7 the Eyewitness News coverage shows the pressed switch then WNET-13 goes and ten seconds later after "nothing's changed then WABC-7 goes and we get hissing like a snake.
Just like 2009 was the year of the transition from analog to digital TV, 2009 was also the year of the appearance of HD and full HD videos on UA-cam.
i always liked analog better than digital because most of the time my pictures freezes and everyone said that digital had a better picture.
Well that is a problem with you signal strengh/quality
If you have cable, make sure, your cable amplifier (mostly in the basement of your house) including its filters are set correctly, if you use the terrestrial service, make sure you have (like Dylan said), a decent antenna, and if you have satellite TV, make sure your dish (i have no idea, if it actually is called this in english :D) is adjusted correctly
Sometimes I don't like X1 because it freezes then updates. It does that a little too much for HD...
I just can't get OTA Digital here in the goonies.
Honestly, this whole video epitomizes what American TV was like in the late 2000's for so many people not just in the New England area, but across the whole nation.
Local News Stations you would see every day heading out to work and school, shows on PBS like Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends which would start the weekends for so many Kids in those days, Commericals and Updates on big shows of the day, Adult live drama shows about a whole assortment of topics, in this case Prision, the kinds of shows i'd see my Uncles watching during the afternoon, and big New Media covering national events that would affect everyone in a community, in this instance the Analog to Digitial Transition!
Even if this era is long gone, its fun to look back on what our lives were like then I suppose
(Kind of fitting how Thomas goes to Sleep at the end right as Analog TV came to an end in the East Coast!)
0:00 Is that my boy Thomas? I never thought I’d see Thomas be the last show before an analog shutdown. My life is complete.
In light of the historical importance of this, these "analog switch off" videos should be preserved in the National Film registry.
I remember when this happened. It was a month before my 17th birthday. I was in my room watching my TV and I counted it down and then PSSSSSH!
And I though, "Damnit, now I have to get up and find something to do."
Maybe play on your Xbox 360 or something
so you would be 26 by now
...such as buying a digital TV/converter box.
It's sad to see analog stations shutting down and switching to full on digital. Younger generations will never know about this change!
Susunod yung sa Analog TV sa Pilipinas ngayong 2023!!!
It’s been 10 years since analog TV stations went to digital. I hope analog TV stations needs to come back.
I think analog will never return.
Who in their right mind would want to go back from 1080 or 4k?? Analogue TV wasn't the same as film or 2 inch multitrack tape

For all of you wondering, there were 2 WINDOWS of analog(ue) sendoff that June, 2009 day in NYC...
This one at 1230-1300 EDT (this video had 4-7-11 and 13, but also 2 signoff then as well) and the other at 0000 EDT (5-9 and other stations' analog(ue) went out then).
If this guy knew that he could have ANOTHER SHOT at the stations that did cut analog(ue) that night with those same 4 TV's...
- For those of you NOT on the know with NYC's main TV lineup...
2 - WCBS 4- WNBC 5-WNYW (FOX) 7 - WABC 9- WWOR (MyN) 11- WPIX (CW) 13- WNET (PBS) 41- WXTV (Univ) and 47- WNJU (Tele)
The bigger ones happen to be 2, 4 & 7 bc that’s where their respective networks launched
We still have 22 major chanels that are available for reception on analogue sets, even though digital television became available nation-wide in 2006.
Starting at 4:55, if you look closely at channel 7 tv, behind the static at times are fuzzy pictures of what’s showing on the channel 11 tv above it.
WNBC HAD A GREAT ANALOG SIGNOFF WHEN THEY ENDED NIGHTLIGHT!
Yes, those are actual working rabbit ears picking up the over the-air analog signal. I am about 13 miles from the Empire State Building (where most of the TV transmitters are) and I have a clear line of sight.
4:56 i thought the tv was literally gonna spontaneously combust because that static is intense.
I'm not gonna ask how high the energy bill was to run 4 TVs in one room XD
These 4 old TVs combined use up less power than one modern TV.

Wonder if people will start hijacking old analog stations more often now? It's not being monitored almost at all these days, I bet.
What if a third party sprung up and seized the old analog stations, and gained the rights to sell broadcasting to buyers?
"Hello, thanks for calling VAB, that's Vintage Analog Broadcasting. Would you like to rent or buy a channel?"
"Yes, channel 29 please, for one week. How much is that going to cost?"
"Seven dollars a broadcast, thirty-five for Monday through Friday and forty-nine for a full seven day week. What kind of content do you wish to provide?"
"Hello, VAB, my name is Markiplier and I'd like to join the UA-camrs Analog Addition community--"
"HOLY SH*T YOU'RE MARKIPLIER?! I THOUGHT YOU SOUNDED FAMILIAR! HELL YEAH CHANNEL'S ALL YOURS BRO!!!"

How did that happen?
You are talking about the DTV nightlight, which was a short program telling people how to prepare for digital television, and ran for 30 days. (Until July 12, 2009)
will someone tell me how digital TV is progress? Speaking from the Twin Cities, MN, Metro area, back in the analog days if there was a really bad thunderstorm it may have interfered with the TV signal, more or less depending on what station you were watching and where you were in relation to the storm. But you would never lose the signal. You might get snowy images, or you might get ghostly images or double images but the sound and the picture would never drop out entirely. I have Direct TV too and I'll never forget the first time I heard some spokesman say, "Just wait for the storm to pass." Just wait for the storm to pass?? Why did I sign up for this again?? Now, with digital signals, right at the moment you want see what the weather's doing, the screen goes black, or right at the crucial moment of the movie you paid $4.99 for on pay per view. And my over the air digital signal goes out on certain stations for seemingly no reason at all, at any time. I don't see how this is progress. I heard that all TV stations had to use more power to try to counteract the picture going black. We're all supposed to be using low power light bulbs but TV stations have to use more power?, burn up more coal?, cause more pollution?, etc., etc., how is that progress? Plus I remember carrying my sony watchman TV to a vikings game just so I could see replays or get lucky enough to see myself on TV. That's gone now too: the digital conversion has to use so much energy that batteries aren't powerful enough. You'd have to bring a motorcycle or car battery along to power the digital conversion, how is that progress? There should be analog stations again, however limited they would be, so we can watch TV uninterrupted again, and watch the path of an oncoming storm again. I'd like to think it could happen but I don't think anyone cares that much now.
Absolutely agree, i have to use a digital to analog converter box for my old may 2001 tv that is 100 percent analog.
I agree
Gah, there's no escape to Bloomberg campaign ads.

Resolution of analog pictures are finer than digital because they have no pixels. The shadow glide (transition from light area to dark area) of analog pictures is smoother than digital because in the latter the shadow glide goes in numerical steps from light to dark, resulting in "mapping" or "flaking" of skins of the subject. This bothers me but it's OK for others.
2 DAYS LEFT TILL THE LOW-POWER ANALOG SIGNAL GOES BYE-BYE THIS TUESDAY NIGHT AT 11:59PM.
Something about this deeply unsettles me. It feels like an end of the world scenario. And then I think about all that dead air out there that used to be used for TV channels we all grew up watching. It's a network wasteland of death and nothingness now.
It’s kinda sad. This tv ( 📺 ) is useless, except if 3 things exist: a) game console is available for use, b) dvd/cd is being played, and c) analog-to-digital converter is working properly.

@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 You are correct. USA analogue TV ceased in 2009, which was on the same day that I retired from work here in Melbourne Australia. Australia, closed its analogue TV in sections, with the last of it going in December 2013. Of course, USA and Canada did leave some analogue TV stations (mostly LP) running until just recently.
@@RGC198 I thought it was in 2009, because that was when we brought our first digital tv
@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 The first analogue TV closure was in Mildura Vic in mid 2010, South Australia Regional TV went in late 2010.

The rest closed in 2012 and 2013, with the last analogue TV channels in Sydney, Melbourne and Alice Springs closing in December 2013. Prior to 2010, both analogue and digital TV were in operation, after digital TV was first introduced to Australia in January 2001.
@@RGC198 heh, maybe that's why I thought it went alot earlier than that, because we live in regional/country Victoria, but Melbourne didn't get theirs turned off until 2013. I wonder what the country stations did for the occasion... But it dose make me wonder what sort of content they had on digital tv in 2001/the early years, like I remember when we first got digital tv somewhere between 2009-2011, I remember the channel "go!" had shows like the Jetsons and it's parent series, the Flintstones, I don’t know if they aired the og 60s/70s Scooby-Doo, but I do know that they aired get smart. On 7 mate night rider was aired and it was the first digital channel that my brother and father were watching the next morning after we got the tv, the show they were watching seemed to be a tv show that was filmed at one of the Barrett Jackson auctions. Although I do find it funny how we got digital tv in 2001 but according to a Google search, we didn't get colour tv until 1975🤔 But since we have 5g and 3g is being turned off this year or next year, what are they gonna do with the old analog signal?

4:42/4:43 - WNBC Channel 4 switches to nightlight service.
4:54/4:55 - WABC Channel 7 shuts down.
6:33 - WPIX Channel 11 shuts down.
6:49 - WNET/Thirteen New York and WPIX Channel 11 switch to nightlight.
6:56 - WABC Channel 7 switches to nightlight.
There is a spur on WABC 7 from WPIX 11 after WABC switched off its analog signal.
Just remember, WNET (13) is a Newark, NJ licensed station, according to Wikipedia.
Right, but it kind of like the Statue of Liberty, the Jets and the Giants. They're "licensed" to NJ, but they mostly serve east of the border.
I live in the Northern New Jersey Area which is right next door to New York and I was at work when that happened. Thank God I have Cablevision IO TV. I was wondering what happened to those analog channels that day and now I know. One thing that puzzles me is this: Do you have a converter box yet?
I did too!
I never understood the need to shut off analog across the world when the bandwaves have not really been used for anything and AM FM radio still exists to this day
