KPNX analog shutoff

[@racer927]

For some reason I LAUGHED at the timing
"let's flip the switch right now"
SHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@meajur]

Some stations signed off their analog by remembering the past, and some by sending off a classy fairwell. Apparently someone in the channel 12 studios decided to sign-off by making sure viewers changed their pants...

[@dhettesh]

Yeah, I got the sense that the engineers jumped the gun. Curtis' voice inflections suggest he didn't literally mean "right NOW". :-)

3:05
and they indeed did flip the switch right now

[@Thawktwo]

I was waiting for the video to load while looking at TV Tropes. I see this video mentioned on Last Note Nightmare, and the video plays out while I'm reading about it. Nothing. Is. Scarier.

"Lets flip the switch right now..."
*LOUD STATIC*
Scary

[@WhoseLineFanXD]

Let's flip the switch to end the universe right nowSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@Buttersbot2]

Damn, that was pretty freaky. It even startled my dog.

[@andrewcheadle]

Much better than KPHO, they said goobye before the end.
Pity the translator viewers, you'd think they'd have enough lead time to get ready and be on the job on the 12th.

Of course, there's a sixth scenario the anchors missed; you only have an analog TV with rabbit ears and no converter, and after the analog signal is turned off, you just stop watching television altogether.

[@DJPaolo0711]

The static sounds so noisy!!! You better need to lower your volume before the switch proper.

3:07-R.I.P. headphone users.

I guess Best Buy was doing that free service everywhere. I should have called and had them come over just so I could mess with them.
I HATE how digital tuners don't let you just enter a channel number to see if it's on the air- you have to have it scan every available channel first. Some might only come in if your antenna is pointed a certain way, and it'll be harder to find new stations that might come on too. Not that there's anything on worth watching, anyways.

[@sasumekyoto34]

@Decliner MEEEE!!!! lol...isn't the video about the forced change from analog to digital? But it is still scary non the less...Imagine flipping through the rest of the channels to find that there's static on those too?

[@sonic8005]

Hey! Candle Cove interrupted the news broadcast! Never seen anything like that before...

[@TotzthePlaid]

@KOFILMSANDMEDIA Er... I meant in the video. Your comment made me laugh, too, but if you interpreted my previous comment as referring to it, it might sound derisive, so I just wanted to clarify.

[@xXx_murp_xXx]

So let's fill the sketch right now...

@@jinkyflores3477 huh

[@firemanstud1981]

You should have included Phoenix by mesa in the description above. Most people do not know where mesa is and KPNX has nothing in mesa--eveything is in phoenix for this station.

[@TotzthePlaid]

@KOFILMSANDMEDIA That actually made me laugh!

[@Ritmo965]

Kpnx NBC is deadly
