Final minute of WGBY ch57 Springfield, MA

And another one bites the dust...

WGBY ch57 shut down their analog signal just before midnight on November 6, 2008. They did it without any notice to viewers.
WGBY will return on Feb 17th on channel 22, which is now occupied by WWLP. WWLP will remain digital on ch 11 once its analog shuts down.

WGBY (Channel 57 In Springfield, Massachusetts, United States Of America) - Analog Shutoff (November 6, 2008 (Thursday))

strange... my PBS station did it too. They shut off analog before everyone else did. I tried to turn it on one day on my antenna and it didn't come in.

hmm... it seems most channels cut video before audio - this has it backwards :P

Thank you for sharing! I'm disappointed, though ... I would have figured that maybe they'd run an official sign-off message or something. Still, it's TV history, and I'm glad that you shared it!
