  • I like how Bill Meyers, the long time WLWT on air talent did the voice over for the last analog signal. Nice touch.

  • the music and back story to the station made me cry

  • I grew up in the Greater Cincinnati area and often watched WLWT on Channel 5. This station made a lot of historic firsts in the world of broadcasting.

  • Did anyone notice the Laramie Peacock in the video?!? I did!

  • That was a great signoff. That was sad.

  • Good signoff, but too bad they didn't play the national anthem one last time for an extra historical touch.

  • As a kid, I couldn't really appreciate WLW-T's unique greatness in American broadcasting. Powell Crosley's legacy of LIVE, LOCAL broadcasting service to the community is unlikely to be equaled in our lifetime....not even the by NY or LA network flagships. I know...I was watching from age 2. Sadly, they missed mentioning this visionary's name even once in an otherwise beautiful piece. But asking the great Bill Meyers to voice it...well, that was perfect.

  • @idkx08 Me too, but it will never happen.

  • you know i thought analog tv support DTV.

    So i hope we can have Digital tv converter

    someday in the Philippines by 2015.

    So that they going to be available
