WEDU Analog Shutoff

I've seen that old analog signal skip all the way up to the Great Lakes region a few times. Channels 2-6 were known for that. Channels 7 and up are different.

Ouch!

Mid-sentence !?!

Not a dignified ending for a facility that had been seen by so many people in so many places.

@1L6E6VHF sorry for the year-late reply, but it's PBS, so I doubt they even cared.

Thanks for taping this! I live in Tampa and I have DirecTV!

@fromwkfsmouth as do I, but I recorded this OTA (and I didn't use a VHS).

They just cut it off mid-sentence? Nice that they had a station bug on the screen right up til the last nanosecond.

Thank you for upload that nice historical farewell !

WEDU is well known with it's behaviour on e-skip propagation even by European TV-DXers. :-)

5* and greetings from Germany ! M.
