TV Sign-Off Analog Shutdowns in Los Angeles 6-12-2009

Recorded with two 20 year old JVC HR-S10000u SVHS VCR's and two 3 year old HD capable JVC HM-DT100s DVHS VCR's. HD portions recorded with a Mitsubishi HD-6000 DVR. Channel 2, 4, 5, 28, 50 were recorded on the HR-S10000u's and a set top antenna. Channel 7, 9, 11, 13 were recorded on the HM-DT100s's and an antenna on my balcony. The audio buzz in the KNBC portion and the crease in the KTLA portion tell me the two 10000u's are ready to retire if it wasn't obvious before.

I had to remove the song that KTLA played during their credits REM-Its The End Of The World As We Know It, because after the first attempt YouTube muted the whole 10 min clip. I didn't realize it would be a problem as it was only about 45 sec of the song.

@LuisBelmontShow

I only had 4 VCR's and a DVR, and I didn't know their sign off time.

Can You Upload Reupload The Video With The Song It's The End Of The World Okay!

[wattehel]

I could but then the whole video would have no sound because YouTube would mute it.

[wattehel]

Yes it seems they kept it off until the end of the news then went into nightlight mode. Ch.2&4 are also in nightlight.

KTLA's sign-off was the best of that bunch I reckon. Nice job.

Ch 5 knows how to end an era... great video..

Ah, the people at KTLA celebrating like it's New Years Eve.

@LandondeeL it is now the present day and that clip you're talking about did not air in the present day. the digital age era has "The Chew" on ABC which premiered monday september 26 2011 and airs informercials like FOX which is still on the air since January 3 2009.

@LessonNumber1 your right, my favorite is KCBS (used the same nightlight as WNBC in NYC from 4:26 to 4:32!)

[d4MLiVE1]

If you could only do something like this for every city in America...

[LandondeeL]

It would have been great for one of the stations, KABC preferably, to sign off the analog age with "Mickey's Gala Premiere"....much like what happened to BBC-TV back in '39!

[LessonNumber1]

kcet is an independant station now!
