Hate to break it to you guys but KFTY is still broadcasting ...Just no longer broadcasting an analog signal...just like all other broadcast stations across the nation. Oh and it is thankfully no longer owned by Clear Channel but a company called Newport.
Yes, Cheap Channel no longer owns KFTY. Yes, this video marks the death of their analog signal only.
However, depending on your location and/or equipment, KFTY may actually be gone for good.
I live about 40 miles from the transmitter site, and can't pick up KFTY-DTV. Yet I can pull in a far away S.F. stations if I aim the antenna correctly.
Similarly, Comcast™ moved KFTY from channel 10 to channel 199. I don't have a tuner that will turn up that high.
Ignoble....wait a minute, I have to get my dictionary....ignoble....ignob le....oh, here it is! Ignoble: "characterized by baseness, lowness, or meanness."
Used in a sentence: My radio partner Bob is ignoble. Oh man, that fits him like a glove!
Can't answer that question, because we have mostly all analog equipment [yes, even a VCR] which is connected to Comcast. Since we don't have a Comcast tuner, the VCR serves as the tuner, and it won't pull in 199.
So effectively, even though we live in KFTY's city of license (Santa Rosa) we can't get the sig.
However, Comcast does provide us with dozens of channels from San Francisco, who could care less about Santa Rosa.
Try Channel 31 For KFTY.

But then there's KFTY's programming...

Thanks for posting. An ignoble end for a television station that once had a fine reputation for local programming.

ARF!
We added the SFX in an attempt to make something exciting out of Clear Channel's otherwise boring sign-off.
Maybe they should hire us...
BOW-WOW!

IIRC, the closing credits happen to be from 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent', or another L&O series.

It's L&O Criminal Intent. The SVU episodes for now only air on weekends, but this fall, it will replace Criminal Intent and air on weeknights.
