Watch the major TV networks as they cut off (or at least try to) the analog TV signal. Recorded with the SnapStream TV Server in the early morning of 6/12/09.
In July 2011, Japan had a unique twist on a digital switchover. Initial plans called for the analog transmitters to be switched off at noon on the day of the switchover (July 24), but technical reasons prohibited the transmitters from being switched off in the daytime and required them to be shut down at midnight. The networks chose to end regular programming on the analog signals at noon, however, and that is why the blue-colored information screens were broadcast on the analog signals for almost twelve hours on end.
When I was nine years old (at the time of the DTV transition in 2009) I only watched Channel 45 (KXLN) Univision's Analog shutdown at night (Yes that channel is a Latino channel, and I am a Latino). But checking the other channels like channel 2, 13, etc. I have never seen those channels go off the air before, I never thought much of the analog shutdown at the time, I thought it was all about changing an old satellite, but now I know why. R.I.P. Analog TV
Hello, I'm Mike DeSerio from the National Association of Broadcasters, from now on this television station is no longer running in an analog format and is broadcasting exclusively in digital!
As I am watching the first few seconds of this video, I am at a Houston airport. In front of me is a KPRC 2 Houston Travel Store, and I am all like: What a moment. Yes. This is a true story.
I love the one with the preacher feature channel. The cutoff is perfect. Seems like the TV station was clueless on what the station engineer was about to do. At least he followed the correct instructions from the FCC. At the time of this post, ATSC version 3.0 is coming online. I love it better than ATSC version 1.0. Yay, the future of 4K broadcast is finally here.
i live in the 3rd or 2nd biggest broadcast area in the country by population, the area served by these channels shown. they are all still only broadcasting the main stations in 720p. maybe some of the x.2 or x.3 stations are 1440 or 4k, but i don't watch them.
Just note that this only affected terrestrial TV. I don't think many of you thought about this. Sattelite was a peanut butter smooth transition. Meanwhile, cable users had a but of a wait.

Sad to see all the analogue TV switched off. We lost all ours here in Australia in 2013.
so the US was first at something? usually we're kinda slow on such things.
Wow. I missed this as a kid because my family already had digital. But these are the news stations I grew up watching.
