Why I get scared of Analog TV Shutdowns

  • Ever since until we were sticking with Analog TV, We then moved to this house on August 2009, while we still had Analog TV. At the time it was shutdown, we then switched over to Digital (Our set topbox is an HDMI cable) which is what everybody is using now. Even our old TV worked with Digital until we replaced it with a Samsung TV.

    It was definitely worse in the 70s and 80s where it would end with the national anthem and patriotic images followed by a straight cut to the loud static or the screen with the color bars across it..

    They at least showed a "Goodbye" screen in Australia. At the moment, Romania still has analog TV up and running, but I can imagine ending it all of a sudden, with no fancy animation or stuff like that. Unlike you, I get more scared by the National Audiovisual Council's messages regarding censorship and, heck, they even forced a TV channel to cease their shows for 10 minutes, because they showed footage from a protest back in August of 2018.

    Ok but i have a similar fear with full channel shutdowns, like when a channel discontinues, especially if the channel ends un-ceremoniously, like everything would be carrying on as normal and then suddenly a screen detailing the channel shutdown pops up. ESPECIALLY if the shutdown screen has the logo of the discontinued channel or the logo of the cable provider (such as the old canal+ channel discontinuation screen, which i dont even live in spain mind you, but i was watching a video of the CN spain shutdown and something about the logo loop with the weird ass music and then suddenly changing to a screen in a foreign language with an image of the canal+ logo showing that the channel was dead really creeped me out) in some cases front and center. Heck it doesnt even have to switch into nothingness to scare the crap out me, sometimes when the channel just switches over to a completely different channel, taking the spot the old channel sat in, terrifies me.

    The credit sequences and production company logos of some companies can be scary, too. When I was a kid I went to bed with the tv on. At one point I kept it tuned to Nick at Night. The Dragnet endings always scared me, with the mugshots and descriptions of criminals, then at the end their production companies logo was a hammer striking metal. That always freaked me out. When I was a bit older, I switched to Cartoon Network, which had Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which I loved...except it ended with contact information for the show, including the creepy dial-up internet noises...and then the Ghost Planet Industries logo, which had the same hammer thing from Dragnet's ending going on. Didn't help that I had a curtainless window anyone could potentionally be watching me through.

    Finally someone who is scared. To be honest, the music that played during the ATN sign off was kinda scary although it was the Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia theme, I always thought that was creepy, so it adds to the creepiness. And most importantly the old 80s TV sign offs. Especially Joanna Lopez, everyone in Chicago will remember that. Tbh, the theme that ended right as ATN used the Kangaroo sign off animation (I do like the Kangaroo animation from ATN though, very cute) in 1989 was very creepy, ending suddenly, The Beatles Good Night which they used in the early 80s is peaceful but at the same time feels very unnerving. Another scary theme sign off was KTCA Channel 2 in the Twin Cites used in the late 80s and early 90s. Especially when it transitions to the colored bars from the star, yeah, the animation is cool but the music reminds me of the Viacom V of Doom. I dont mind about colored bars, however sometimes they can come with a scary and sometimes annoying tone. Static scares me the most, being extremely sudden. Especially if its the middle of the night and you wake up to that. But, the fact that these “goodbye” screens like ATN are followed by static makes chills come down my spine. Thankfully I’m a 2010 kid (yes I know) and I never got to see those old TV sign offs nor the analog ones. But watching them back makes me feel like, dang, this is chilling. And also the fact that they were so long ago gives me goosebumps. So thats my thoughts about it.

    In the early 2000s when I was a kid I used to be scared of the Polish Cartoon Network switching to TCM channel at 9 PM. The bouncing letters of the logo that could go into this crazy slapstick sequence out of nowhere and you never knew when exactly it would happen. It could go for few seconds or few minutes before just suddenly going into this loud crazy bumper. I remember a Scooby Doo marathon that I legit thought would go beyond 9 PM for some reason. There was a black screen with the on screen logos for a moment and either the bouncing letters appeared or they went straight into slapstick switching sequence. Either way I ran away to the kitchen lol

      you are lucky, in the united states, cartoon network transitions into adult swim. cartoon network says "goodnight kids!" and then a black screen with white text saying "adult swim has content that is not appropriate for kids" or something like that in pure silence.

    For me, the country i live in also switched to digital. It happened instantly and it was just white noise. I mean, it didn't even give a warning the day it switched, but it did days before switching. What we used to do before we got the set top box was that we were plugging our computer to the TV and watching UA-cam on it, pretending like that is the TV.

    Indeed this kind of shutdowns are really scary. I stil remember when Minimax was shuting down in a really scary way: When the current cartoon was finnishing, it appeared a small animation made out of squares of circles, and a random catchy music was playing. Then the channel was freezing and the last milisecond was constantly repeating.

    When I first heard about this all those years ago, I just thought it meant only the over the air terrestrial TV that you pick up with an antenna, since by then everyone had set top boxes for cable and satellite, and because of that I thought they were only going to shut down the terrestrial TV. I had no idea it meant analog cable and satellite would shut down too. Also I only thought this was happening in the UK.

    I never grew up with analouge TV. However, I originally thought Sprout's Snooze-a-Thon was a sign-off for Sprout, (playing from 9PM to 6AM) so that must've made it a #creepyclosedown, then I found out it wasn't, as The Good Night Show would loop twice over the course of the evening and hand over to an early morning block at 3AM.

      TV actually goes back even much further than the 1920s because there were American and Russian inventors that were experimenting with Electronic TV Systems as far back as 1906 and 1907 using a cathode ray tube for the images and using a photo multiplier tube as a camera.
