Looks like it was. This piece used mostly generic B-roll including the part you reference, the TV smashing, the finger turning off the transmitter (which was not at WNBC’s Empire State Building transmitter). Thanks for watching.
Analog TV sucked, too many lines, the screen went up & down, too much snow on the screen, colored spots, digital TV is so much better. I had satellite TV back in 2009,so I wasn't affected.

The day this happened was the last day of school where I live.
WNBC continued to air showing DTV instructional videos on a loop before finally shutting off the transmitters on June 23rd

NO way!!! SoftDrinkTV!!! I would never imagine you here! Keep up the good work!!
don't throw away working tv sets because they are old because it is a waste of resources if it aint broke don't fix it.
i switch to cable a month before this happen.

Those people wouldn’t bother waiting for the free converters today, they’d just smash and grab the boxes.

But it was free. The way it's supposed to be. Now we're all forced to pay for cable. Big scam that nobody acknowledges.

I hate the pixelation that DTV has. I could roll with a bit of snow in a picture, but not the herky-jerky motion of a weak DTV signal.
@@OldMastyr3 that's not the same. Digital TV is not cable. It's still free.
