WLUK Analog Shutdown MrSchimpf - 176 views - 4 weeks ago
WLUK, Fox 11 in Green Bay, long the lower-peg network station in a market dominated by WBAY and WFRV (but yet can make the claim as the home of the Packers and ratings many network shows drool over), leaves the air for the last time in analog on June 12, 2009 at 10am as only one of two stations along Wisconsin's lakeshore to go back to their analog home channels. After "Good Morning Wisconsin" anchor Rachel Manek somehow manages to almost sync right in with the ticker announcement below her (really, she does, just watch), the station cuts to black for a moment while the magical elves over at Charter Communications race to reposition the antennas and change the tuner for WLUK from their temporary channel 51 back to Channel 11, which they assure us will be more powerful and easier to recieve than 51 ever was (and that's true, somewhat by my experience). Then Rachael Ray comes on-screen and the switch is made.

Recorded on a DVR, transferred to VHS, then again recorded by my tuner card before a minor tweak to increase the volume in Windows Movie Maker.

WDJT Final Analog Shutdown MrSchimpf - 365 views - 1 month ago
WDJT Channel 58, Milwaukee's youngest full-power station, and a station pushed into the limelight wihen WITI took over the Fox affiliation in 1994 and was unexpectedly given the CBS affiliation out of desperation, ends its rather short 20 1/2 years of analog broadcasting by bowing out last among Milwaukee stations right at 11:59pm on the dot, right in the middle of what was sure to be a wonderful Craig Ferguson e-mail segment punchline.

Before that though, they remind us that thanks to having quite a few sister stations, they're not going away on analog for at least another month. WYTU-LP over on Channel 63, which usually carries Telemundo and is unaffected by the transition, will carry the WDJT schedule for the next month to provide an enhanced "nightlight" and is a pretty smart way of keeping a full-power network signal on the air for at least a little longer.

As was done in my first video for WGBA, this was recorded holding a RCA portable TV to the camera and plugging the external audio jack into the computer to avoid the usual noisiness. I tried to stay out of frame, but I peeked in a few times. I have a couple more sign-offs; thankfully those were made via cable and recorded to DVR and came out much better.

WGBA Final Analog Shutdown MrSchimpf - 292 views - 1 month ago
WGBA, Green Bay and the Fox Cities' NBC affiliate and the second youngest station in the Green Bay/Appleton area, decides to take the quick and painless route in ending their analog service at 10am on June 12, 2009. After a couple of promos for "Deal or No Deal" and their news, a split-second of "Today" is seen before the screen cuts to black. You probably figure you can't make much of a history reel out of the station beyond being the home of "Cuddles the Clown" and the place where network affiliations end up when other networks have nowhere else to go (Fox came there in 1992 when WXGZ went bankrupt, while NBC became WGBA's network in 1995 since Fox bought a small interest in WLUK and went there).

Recorded on a RCA portable TV with a webcam, and thankfully an audio jack hookup directly to the PC for more than acceptable sound.
