1:21 (computer) "Press Enter Key for Analog is Going Bye Bye..." He pressed Enter key "Congratulations! You say bye bye to analog forever! Welcome to digital world forever!"
I work at the station and that computer terminal was the actual transmitter remote. No "ceremonial" switch that night. We did have an engineer at the transmitter site as a backup.
That makes me think to myself... Was that simply staged so as to show viewers a familiar face shutting analog off in a way the average person could understand while the actual cutoff was accomplished by an engineer somewhere else?

That is the best of the analog shutdown uploads, to show direct side by side.
Thanks for sharing.
