WNBC(TV) analog nightlight shutdown - the final 2 minutes

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 30 июн 2009
  • This really IS the end of WNBC's analog broadcasts on channel 4 in New York. The station ceased regular analog programming on the channel on June 12, 2009 at 12:30PM. For the next 2 weeks, a loop of DTV instructional videos played, then on June 26 at 10:58 AM, it ended like this.
    This is the last 2 minutes, picking up with the end of the last cycle of the NAB's DTV video. What followed was some black, some bars, a variation of a 1970's WNBC-TV test pattern, a brief logo montage, then analog hash. Note that there's no audio with the bars, black or the TP. Other than the server which played back the videos, there were no devices in the nightlight equipment chain that could generate audio. This is the extended version, (the shorter, final 1-minute version is also available here) which shows in real time the transition from nightlight to GOODBYE.

    Gotta Say, Hands Down it's the best analog shutdown in the U.S. in my view, most stations near me counted it down on a news broadcast or just shut it down in the middle of programming back then, even after the nightlight period on some of the channels, they just roughly shutdown in the middle of the nightlight video. this one is very interesting and cool how it shows their logo over time.

    Very interesting. Still looks quite good for a slide that is 30+ years old (especially the greens and blues, which in usual situations suffer most particularly). I asked about the fading because I've experimented with simulations, as well as "reverse fading" by taking something with reddish blacks to make it look more normal.

    The government mandated the switch to Digital in 2005, but waited until 2007 to promote the message. When they decided the date to turn off analog signal in 2005, they should have began promoting the switch that same year and started the converter box coupon distribution program, so that way people would have more than enough time to switch and they should have been showing more programmings to teach people how to switch because commercials they showed didn't explain clearly on how to switch.

    I think this 1947 variation (without the colors, of course) was also used by the ABC O&O's in the early years of their existence (from their initial sign-ons in 1948 and '49). Another 1947 variation (with an "en dash" between "1947" and "NATIONAL") had single black horizontal lines on the far left and right, and white lines at far top and bottom. I wonder, was this slide faded like that, or was some Photoshopping done to make it look faded?

    The proper legal ID for the sign-off was truthfully "WNBC New York," not WNBC-TV. Yes, the original TP could've played with the correct ID next to the 1986 peacock. Admittedly, it was better than the (rather poor) recreation of WCBS's test pattern with the flip to nightlight service.
    In any event, the 1982 Nightly News theme played here was used as NBC Radio News' theme well after GE sold the radio network... until Westwood One finally dissolved it... in 2003! So it had a long, long run.

      Thanks for your comment. That NBC News theme heard here dates to 1982. A portion of it was also used by NBC Radio as the hourly news sounder starting about mid-year 1982. In 1985, NBC News adopted John Williams "The Mission" as the theme for TV news programs, including NIGHTLY, TODAY and MEET THE PRESS. Radio required a sounder that could come in, establish, and fade in 7 seconds. The powers that be decided that that couldn't be done with Williams' orchestral piece, so the hourlies continued to use the 1982 theme for several more years.
