The DTV transition in Nashville, June 12, 2009: The final analog broadcast

A key moment in the history of technology. The end of analog broadcasting on Nashville's WTVF Channel 5. I grabbed the camera (and a clock) just in time to capture the moment. The key moment here happens starting at the 1:11 mark.

I'm between Chattanooga and Nashville. The analog signal I got. Not sure, probably closer to me.

Was it from Memphis because I though WUXP-TV 30 signed off on analog back in February.

Thanks man. I live too far to get WTVF's signal. But I did watch some channel on the UHF band, channel 30. At 12:01 AM this morning the signal on analog dropped.
