KTVK analog shutoff

No fanfare as KTVK 3 in Phoenix, Arizona, ends its analog broadcast at 4:30 am on June 12, 2009. The station's signal did not shut off, however, as KTVK eventually began analog nightlight programming. Video clip is 4:00 long with programming ending at 1:40.

@analogfantasy It's because of your country's dodgy ATSC system used for digital.

It would been nice if the 20th Television logo followed the MGM 2009 logo, that would be interesting. But that's my opinion.

I remember watching KTVK 3 through E-skip in southwest Washington not too long before the analog shut down and I have the recording to prove it. They were a regular in fact through this type of propagation and would come in with a local quality signal on many occasions. It was kind of sad to see them go since they were my best indicator for Phoenix and Tuscon FM.
