WNYW-TV AND WWOR-TV DIGITAL TRANSITION
The digital transition on June 12, 2009 required that the analog transmitters of WNYW-TV and WWOR-TV be shutdown by midnite. After working in broadcasting for 43 years I was very fortunate and greatful to be involved in this historic event! Here is the only video of that occasion taken that night at the transmitter site facility located in the Empire State Building. This was a spur of the moment thing and I am sorry that my camera memory had ended the video so abruptly!

これは本当に海外のアナログ放送が終了した時の映像ですか？ Is this really a video from when overseas analog broadcasting ended?
Yes
FOX 5 & MY 9 IS END OF A TELEVISION!😨
Idiot Thats the analog signoff
0:47 1:14
these guys should have some own screen to not cut the credit
Awesome
Fox 5 got shuted off during: last seconds of the Simpsons My 9 shuted off during: my 9 football season ad
IIRC (from another video that had these images along with what was broadcasting on both Fox5 and My9 at the time) the last image on My9 was the NY Yankees logo, so it was a baseball game promo (it was on June, during MLB season).

That was the analog send-off of both DuMont stations in NYC (they both broadcast from the Allen B. DuMont TeleCentre that broadcasted the network from 1944-56 and Fox5 being the direct descendent of WABD). Knowing how stingy Fox went with the analog send-offs this is more important than whatever the viewers saw if at all... Fox5 Analog 1944-2009 My9 Analog 1949-2009
Channels 5 & 9 Are The Last Broadcasting In Analog Format Before Midnight
Channels 2 & 4 In Analog Remained On Air By Playing Nightlight Loop Within 30 Days
Channels 7,11,13,21,25,31,33,41,47 & 68 Having Signed Off Earlier In The Day
Channel 43 In Analog Off Air In July 4 2008
Channel 48 In Analog Off Air In July 8 2004
Channel 49 In Analog Off Air In April 16 2009
Wnyw DT 5.1 wwor DT 9.1 New York New York/new Jersey.
Is that the same procedures that went on when tv stations went off the air years ago? I mean sign off for the night!
It was sad that Fox couldn't do a proper send-off to "the digital cliff" to Fox5, the 5th OLDEST COMMERCIALLY LICENSED TV STATION IN US (put on the air by Mr. DuMont as WABD in 1944, just predated by New York's "2 big O&O's", as in today's WNBC and WCBS, KYW as WPTZ in Philly and WRGB* near Albany, NY) and My9, its' 1949-started sister station... Maybe now that the Disney buyout will make Fox substantially smaller they will find time to "savor the history" of their properties, like the broadcast network and the Fox and MyN O&O stations. PS: Had to correct some things, but worth it. * the oldest TV callsign letters in America as they've kept them since 1942
so, you pushed the button to turn of WOR-TV Correct?
This is where WNYW Fox 5 and sister station WWOR-TV My 9, turned off their analog transmissions from its transmitter atop the Empire State Building in New York City's Midtown Area. And we saw the man pushed the buttons to turn off the analog signals, as these 2 stations went digital by Midnight. WNYW and WWOR-TV are now owned by 21st Century Fox.
21st century fox is now owned by disney so it is now under the fox broadcasting conpany
@@sfjlajgeoiuet - nope. Those broadcasting stations and the network were part of what the US Dept. of Justice wouldn't allow Disney to own (already had / has ABC). The 5-1 and 9-1 stations are owned by what now it's called FOX CORPORATION, which has the rest of the Murdoch family assets in the category. 21 FC doesn't exist anymore as Disney relabeled the TV production assets as 20TH CENTURY STUDIOS. Disney's TV station ownership is elsewhere in the City in WABC Ch. 7-1...
@@sfjlajgeoiuet No! But the Murdoch group spun off from 21st Century Fox into the new Fox Corporation, with some most of Fox Television Stations, Fox News Channel and Fox Sports are became part of the new Fox Corporation under the Murdoch group.
Wait! You were working for television?
Wow!!! Harold Thanks so much for that!!! Went to the 911 Museum last week and I took a picture of a piece of your old transmitter...So glad you didn't make it to work that morning. xo :-)
On analog TV, i guess
Thank you kiotr2009! It was a last minute thing! Unfortunately I had run out of memory on my small digital camera that night otherwise I would have shown more.
And now we conclude our broadcast day
historic!!
The age of continuous, reliable analog video is replaced by the age of full SD cards & dead batteries.
not really.
Save those machines!
Hmmm... 5 and 9... That's ham radio speak for a perfect signal.
so that's why 'NYW was pulled during the credits for the Simpsons + 'OR went dark after Randi Thomas (voice of Entertainment Tonight) talked about 'Yankees baseball on my9'. Some stations would do special things on the last day of nightlight, like 4 New York (WNBC). What did Fox 5 and my9 do on the last day of nightlight?
Still static. WNBC-4 and WCBS-2 shut down a few weeks after June 12 transition. WABC-7, WPIX-11, WNET-13, and others remain static.
@@juliegaetos6959 - Channels 2 and 4 had 2 week nighlights each, the former going dark for 3 hours before nightlight and the latter making an extra ditty after the 2 weeks.
Historic New York television indeed. And certainly unlike anything I've ever watched before. Like a scene from a movie. Thanks for sharing.
You were involved in the digital transition? That's amazing - and as you said, historic.
