- TV Sign-Off Analog Shutdowns in Los Angeles 6-12-2009.
Recorded with two 20 year old JVC HR-S10000u SVHS VCR's and two 3 year old HD capable JVC HM-DT100s DVHS VCR's. HD portions recorded with a Mitsubishi HD-6000 DVR. Channel 2, 4, 5, 28, 50 were recorded on the HR-S10000u's and a set top antenna. Channel 7, 9, 11, 13 were recorded on the HM-DT100s's and an antenna on my balcony. The audio buzz in the KNBC portion and the crease in the KTLA portion tell me the two 10000u's are ready to retire if it wasn't obvious before.
I had to remove the song that KTLA played during their credits REM-Its The End Of The World As We Know It, because after the first attempt RUclips muted the whole 10 min clip. I didn't realize it would be a problem as it was only about 45 sec of the song.

These nine can be victims of digital switch. These may buried in the TV cemetery. It is written:
" Rest in Peace: KCET, KNBC, KABC, KCBS, KCAL (KCBS's sibling), KTLA, KOCE (KCET's sibling from their parent Public Broadcasting Service), KTTV, and KCOP (KTTA's sibling from the FOX family). In loving memory to the viewers. d.2009."
Rest in peace for them.
and also ichc channel was in digital. R.I.P. ICHC Channel analog 1980-2017
oddly 2009 was the last time I watched normal TV. Internet won me over.
Same here
Man, I remember how much of a big deal the analog cutoff was, and how many people just didn't understand it at all. People bought converter boxes with new HDTV's, people with "SDTV" (Standard Definition TV's with a Digital Tuner in them, using a logo much like the HDTV logo) thought they had HD's (as that was confusing as well, ) and everyone complained about the "blocky shit" that happened when they had a bad digital signal.
Ah, I don't miss the changeover. I do miss analog TV, for the sheer sake of ubiquity it had - working with old TV's for gaming and such would be more of a treat now if I could still watch some TV on the buggers (without needing a tuner box, of course)
Did I see correctly, that KTLA's analog signal actually came back on after a few minutes?
They're doing nightlight service. KCBS and KNBC as well, too.
bluorangefyre It did for the nightlight
Service
You saw correctly KTLA went fully digital just about 5 months ago
@@juliegaetos6959 what is nightlight service?
@@grady7420 a continuous loop of FCC-provided information on how to switch to digital TV, along with any emergency broadcasts. There was no regular programming on nightlight service.
All to avoid people receiving signals from the aliens in response to our old broadcasts. :p
is this a joke
local 58?
0:39 Headphone warning.
LacyCrusty 😂
8:12
I think it's a little too late to tell people how to switch to DTV...
Yeah. But, I think, at least people who already got the converter box/digital TV set would see it.
It was an ad they had in circulation before the analog shutoff. I assume they kept that ad up for a couple more weeks because it tells you how to adjust the antennas on the digital
I love watching these, I should send this to one of my college professors, he'd get a kick out of it
Thanks so much for preserving these historic moments & sharing them with the world :-)
(Some were more exciting than others; I particularly enjoyed the KTLA one.)
4:59 they left us on a cliffhanger:(
So you get these bizarre emails cause you refer to somebody else and then-
Its a canon event
@@yoloitzalex8632not funny
To all Filipinos, if you're watching this... this is what will happened to the remaining Analog on-air broadcasters (PTV-4, TV5, GMA-7, RPN 9, ZOE TV 11, IBC-13, Net-25, GTV 27, UNTV 37, One Sports 41, and INC TV 48) in 2027...
Other broadcasters (SBN 21, RJTV 29, BEAM 31, ZOE TV 33, and INC TV 49) is now on FULLY DIGITAL broadcast
Why does this read like a threat 💀
For real? Damn
As a Filipino, I'm agree for your point.
Growning up in the 21 century is crazy!
Little typos there, but, yeah, growing up in an era like this IS crazy.
0:36 not dysfunctional? you sure??
4:17 Don't forget about the DTV switch. At lease she warned us
Thanks for the video. I was one of the engineers on Mt. Wilson for KOCE that flipped the switch. We also saw the KTLA change at the transmitter site.
Thank you for preserving these memories!
And with the switch over to digital, many rural and semi-rural areas across the nation saw the amount of channels they received over the air cut in half or more. While analog signals degraded over a certain distance and were still watchable for the most part, digital signals don't "travel" nearly as far and completely cut off when someone's antenna is outside of the 'strong single' range and would experience the breaking up of the signal when they are a moderate distance from the station's broadcasting location. Thus reducing the amount of channels they used to be able to receive. None of those problems were even highlighted before the switch over.
It’s been 14 years daddy i really really miss you
I agree
hey guys quandale dingle here
@@ReferredRhyme82 lol😂😂
All quandale dingle jokes aside, that was an end of an era.
10 years from now, this will happen again. Except this time, it will be digital to streaming.
pls stop giving them ideas
do not
You mean ATSC 1.0 (the thing that replaced analog initially) to next gen TV?
@@nxx99 Likely
Nope, from ATSC 1.0 (HDTV) to ATSC 3.0 (Next Gen TV), happening now but not enforced until ~ 2035....

13 years later I still have my Digital Converter Box running in 2022
Some of these analog shutdowns are so abrupt it's like somebody's grandpa passing away before he even finished saying his final words
I had a panasonic tv/vcr combo and when we moved to a different home back in 07, my dad accidentally yanked the antenna so I was unable to receive channels. The strange thing was I believed this was an analog tv I had. My uncle actually figured out how to get the channels back and this was after analog was shut down. I was able to watch the original channel package I had.
7:22 "Analog picture just fluttering in the screen, so long..." That old guy sounded like he was gonna go home and kill himself. :( Poor guy. He was around for the start! And he has to see this! *huggles the old guy*

5:25 Reporters Get Sweeped Of Air
Off?
Oh man, this video made me nostalgic for the awful KCBS analog reception.
I don't know why I find it funny at 3:41. News anchor give you a grinning look before the moment you get shot lol
ASO in TV Digital? (Analog Switch Off)
@LuisBelmontShow
I only had 4 VCR's and a DVR, and I didn't know their sign off time.
Really, Analog TV is gone. Just tell all the rural areas in this country as well as us in Las Vegas, NV that still have 2 analog TV stations on the air. The analog shutdown only affected Full Power Television stations and exempt were translators and "Franken FM stations" on channel 6 as they are still on the air. Oh, a "Franken, (Frankenstein) FM station" is a channel 6 Analog TV station that the audio can be picked up on an FM receiver and usually has spanish music and a loop of unrelated video.
+Dennis Romo LPTV stations are supposed to be off now but I can still receive a few strange stuff every now and then by LA. I got like 20 channels in San Diego last year and about 3-4 in Laughlin/Vegas.
On Friday June 12, 2009 it was a end of an era of Analog TV to switch to Digital TV 13 Years Later
It's been 13 years daddy
well it was only for full power analog, not low powered
In my country analog television lasted for 6 more years until 2015
Ah, the people at KTLA celebrating like it's New Years Eve.
got no idea why they played it's the end of the world as we know it at the end of the ktla program but i'm here for it
Kcop (MyNetworkTV) is last Remaining analog TV in Los Angeles
How can it be? I thought the digital switch was a federal mandate...in 2009.
Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't know where Cookie got the idea that KCOP is still analog.
It's been 5 years
Oof
@@ApartmentKing66 well, I think that was for full power stations.
Thanks for the memories!
You Are Lying!
4:59 *HEY!!!* I was watching that!
Weird. They did this in the middle of the day? Our local stations went off at midnight.
KABC7's switch was top notch timing
The broadcast of the channel "KTLA" in analog format from which TV was recorded?
The Philippines will adopt Japan's ISDB-T digital television broadcasting system, though we're still using America's NTSC.
It's true. NTSC was mostly used, while PAL only used in Europe. Pero dahil may ibang bansa pa sa Asia ang naka-PAL, gumamit sila ng DVB-T.
Rence Dablo Whether you like it or not, PAL is always better than NTSC and always will be until the last analogue channels will closedown forever. Too bad we use the bad telly standard.
Note: The word "telly" is the common, informal British term of "TV".
6:43 i think it's only a switch to shut off the analog broadcast. that not influence to a digital broadcast.
I love videos like these the history of television and broadcasting has always been an interest of mine.
Copyrigĥt claims, supposedly, for the KTLA portion on the REM song.
Wow, I had forgotten how awful KCBS Ch 2 looked in analog.
It was also NTSC fault, terrible system. So sad PAL was only used in EU and several countries.
I remember this. Just like I remember Y2K
Maybe during the late 90's it would've gotten attention, but since I haven't seen a proper signoff or signon since the ancient days of satellite (C-Band dish), I'm not surprised no one's holding it against them.
When I was little, I used to wait and watch for the signoffs/signins, though. I loved them! I think Scifi's old animations were my favorite (given we got a proper dish before either Scifi or Food existed. I remember mum waiting very patiently for Food Network)
Every Channel: STATIC
KNBC: DTV Commerical
knbc was a "nightlight channel" looping a video about switching to digital for like 30 days
And also KCBS.
Funny, I stopped watching TV around 2003 when my old Hitachi CRT 80's TV broke for the last time (I may be what was called a "cord-cutter") and got a screen for streaming from a PC or playing Xbox back in 2010 or 11. I then just learned that you had to scan for channels (and so far haven't had the time to watch TV since)
What happened to switch off their Analog Channels in Los Angeles?
Let's see what happened in Friday, June 12, 2009.

KOCE Ch. 50 - 11:30 PM (6/13/09 @ 3:30 PM - MNL Time)
8:39 the tv held an onion
Since there's still people commenting here, I'm going to ask if anyone can help me find a seemingly very rare video, that went a little like this.
I believe it was the Pittsburgh KDKA, KYW, or a similar analog station. Interestingly enough, after the shutoff, a 1 in a million occurrence happened, and the person recording began receiving signal from all the way in Los Angeles, or perhaps it was Seattle. The video was about 6 or so minutes long. It was really cool in my opinion, and I've spent a long time looking for it.
KYW 3 analog signoff by Dave Webb.
Just wondering, do you still have the original footage with you?
6:55 I CAN FINALLY WATCH THE FULL CELEBRATION OF THE ANALOG TV SHUT DOWN!
*Welcome to the broadcast.*
Stan, no, you were not. You were setting up your TV. Not switching on KTLA for the first time ever!
man, having a secondary unit just to watch tv is a waste of money. besides, analog has the advantage of being watchable during rainy days.
imagine just chilling on the couch watching some teley and a freaking nuke goes off
HRL
It’s funny how people are still commenting on this video to this day.
lol now in France we can broadcast our programs on the analog SECAM band
What?

It's pretty depressing when the switchoff happens during a commercial break.
Even Movie theaters are going digital!
Goddamn this is such an obscure menor for me I was in elementary around that age
Did Any Los Angeles Or San Diego TV Station Go Digital On February 17 2009 Or It Was Mostly On June 12 2009
think some of them might have switched before the deadline, but most of them were up and running until DTV day
Try upping it as a link so people could download it.
What did the local stations show if you had analog cable? What if you were tuned to a cable channel?
I remember analog Cable subscribers in '09 like my parents were treated like ATSC 1.0 viewers for at least 2 more years. Gradually after 2011 all Cable systems forced their subscribers into Digital Cable.
(my signal wasn't affected by the analog shutdown in '09)
Biggest mistake ever made. Digital sucks major ass, hands down. I always liked how channel 13 mimicked KTTV 11. They may have well just signed off 10 years prior since it was a copy. TV is a joke anyhow and just garbage. Good video btw!
Yes it seems they kept it off until the end of the news then went into nightlight mode. Ch.2&4 are also in nightlight.
What date did Channel 2 and 4 stopped nightlight mode? What date also did Channel 5 stopped nightlight mode?
I confused because Channel 4 in New York (WNBC), Washington D.C. (WRC), and Miami through channel 6 (WTVJ) did its nightlight with other NBC stations (other NBCs not, like channel 7 in Boston (WHDH)). Channel 2 in New York (WCBS), Atlanta through channel 46 (WGCL), and others did this too.
Digital TV forced us into pay television because the antenna dependent boob-tube has poor reception.
Great they cut off Dave Mathews on KCET - a classic....lol funny
The sound when it cut off sounded like rapid gun fire.
LOL
how can do it about that?
That beginning though. The hands are surviving with the flickering static!
Yea
There was absolutely no need make the switch! .... keeping both analog and digital and analog at the same time would have been better since with analog we lost the most reliable signal !
8:36 at KOCE PBS 50, idk that song was coming from... Can you tell what song it is? (Giorgio serci guitar)
Well also.... The analog tv shutoff but starts only the Letter "K"
hungarian dance no.5
On KTLA-TV, Why they put a demo for converter box? (in digital portion)
A. To rescan other channels?
B. For other TVs don't have a converter box? (example: for child's room without converter box)
C. All of the above
C.
B, even though the comment
Was 9 years ago.
I have to say.. that advert with two older people messing about with DTV box and TV still on...is very silly thing to show, should always switch off before making any connections........ or get electric shocks.......
It looks like the analog portions were recorded straight to VHS.
2:12
KABC
*epic music*
LIVE FROM ABC 7
A KCET logo at the beginning?
Unrelated, but I noticed ABC 7's music at the beginning was the Tails Channel music he plays in his videos sometimes! But anyways, cool video.
Utter cringe.
They must skip from KTLA5news' credit instead of muting the song in the credits
It is the 10th anniversary of this today.
That's why we still have box dial tvs...
Omg I totally forgot about it. I remember when This happend and I also remember how you were able to see every detail in the people face 😂😂😂 some not so flattering in HD 😂
I honestly miss analog tv, However the switch only applied to full powered stations, There are still low powered stations in my area but I cannot get a signal, Signal boosters are optimal.
I know this comment is old, but weren't all low power transmitters required to shut off back in July of 2021?
@@TheLordOfNothing Well, yeah but I still miss analog tv whatsoever.
@@18436Melissa Me too. I don't watch TV as frequently, but when I do, it's over the air. (I do have streaming services)
However, the one channel I frequently watch, our local NBC affiliate, comes in maybe 30% of the time with no hitches. With analog, sure, there would've been snow and fuzz, but with digital, it's tiling, pixelating, and audio cutouts that make the viewing experience not very good.
can anyone give me a lead to the song KOCE was playing?

Down here in Singapore, analog tv shutdown at 2 jan 2019 at 12:00am..
NOO!!! PLEASE DO NOT TURN OF ANALOG BROADCAST!! I WILL MISS YOU ANALOG BROADCAST R.I.P D':
MY ASSESSMENTS OF THESE SHUTOFFS:
KCET'S: Can't say that a lot of Dave Matthews fans would have been pleased with the analog signal cutting off right in the middle of his interview with Charlie Rose, although this eerily foreshadows what would happen to Charlie Rose's career at the start of the #MeToo movement.
KNBC'S: Some very odd timing here, switching to the DTV transition loop right in the middle of . . . a mattress commercial?
KABC'S: By far the most professionally handled shut-off here. Looking back at these shutoffs, this appears to be among the few of its kind that were actually done right, with proper timing so that it actually shut off right when it was supposed to. Most of the stations that shut down their signals on June 12 either jumped the gun on the front of switching off the signal or cut off in the middle, or just toward the end, of any show was scheduled to air before midnight of the next day.
KCBS': Good to know that channel 2 counted "11 million survivors" of its analog days . . . I guess.
KCAL'S: I wonder if any footage survives of the KCAL transmitter technician shutting down from Mount Wilson that the station, which was notorious for having a rocky history in its analog era, said was streamed on their website. As for what we look at in this video . . . those with knowledge of that history will see some kind of symbolism in the shutdown occurring right in the middle of that judge's line of dialogue.
KTLA'S: Los Angeles' first-ever television station committed a fitfully eventful termination of its analog transmitter, even if it took the guy in the control room a few seconds after the switch was pulled up to actually press that off button.
KOCE'S: Peculiar how a guy playing the violin would have the last images transmitted over the analog feed of what would soon replace KCET as PBS' primary Southern California station.
KTTV'S: In retrospect, this particular shutoff happens to be a typical example of Rupert Murdoch's particular brand of insensitivity. Apparently, Fox 11 in LA thought that the last people who still watched that station on their analog feed were drug addicts who were in dire need of psychological help.
KCOP'S: Dang, they couldn't let the healthcare ad finish before turning the transmitter off? That's weird.
Digital Converter Box still working in 2022
