Throwback - The Death of WPVI-TV's 87.7FM, June, 2009

This is heavily edited. -- The last few minutes of WPVI-TV (Philadelphia)'s analogue audio feed on 87.7FM.
Received from East Rockhill Township, PA. - June, 2009. -- At this time, the over the air actual NTSC video portion could not be received outdoors at the exact same location.
This audio clip is a sort of preview as to what 87.7FM sounded like -- or could sound like -- in any United States Television Market with a channel on RF Channel 6 during the NTSC era. (Of which the audio portion was automatically on 87.7FM.)
Some of the sibilance distortion makes me wonder what sort of audio processing was in use here. -- Or if the FM audio feed was allowed to occasionally overmodulate -- more than slightly.
What sort of shocked me was that the shut-off was .... no-frills. -- No old-school countdown, or sign-off montage with music of any type. Frankly, I would have assumed a retro montage opening with the classic Move Closer To Your World - By Al Ham -- would have been the last few images and sound played.

Yes, Almost all TV Stations over the air are overmodulating their audio carrier

Analog TV 2009

Even worse….they switched to digital only

[@dynahzm]

there were 2 types of television signals that could be picked up by an antenna - analog and digital. since the station's analog signal was shut down, it started broadcasting in digital-only.

Soooooo many people got shafted by this FCC mandated switch . 😞

Too bad that the FCC is cracking down on "Frankenstein" radio signals created by frequencies after the conversion to Digital TV.
Heck, we still have one in Chicago.
