  • Yes WFSB has class!

    However, I feel sorry for S.E.T.I. "recipients" who prolly just figured out within last 6 decades Philo Taylor Farnsworth's and Vladimir Kosma Zworykin's interlaced scanning synchronization methods of analog TV.

    Just imagine the Chi Sagittari area (i.e. Wow!) "recipients" at Gliese 699 saying: "Hey Prot what happened to the Earth video signals? Have they gone to a new format? Aw crap it took us this long to figure out 1st one!".

    Wont notice for 6 more yrs though!

  • They made it great saying "Good Bye" on their analogue signal !

    Thanks a lot for recording that historic moment and thank you for upload !

  • it starts at 3:06 the stuff before was a repeat

  • WTIC-TV (Ch. 3) became WFSB in... I want to say 1972. Channel 61 signed on the air in 1984.

    Despite the calls, Ch. 61 was never aligned with Travelers Insurance, while Ch. 3 was. (In fact, 61 had originally applied for the call sign "WETG-TV, in honor of the late Gov. Ella T. Grasso, but those letters were taken by a station in Erie, PA.)

  • Channel 3 had the callsign first.

  • Isn't WTIC is on channel 61?

  • I hope KPRC here in Houston does the same after they finish their analog nightlight service. I wonder if they still keep their ID cards when they were KLEE-TV?

  • Why does WFSB say "becoming digital" when WFSB-DT has been on for a few years already? Scot Haney as the last person shown on the station from 2009? Gimme a break! :(

  • Nice, finally a station went old school!

  • I like how they showed their original sign on back from 1957.

  • "Wont notice for 6 more years though!"

    That is of course that 90377 Sedna (2003 VB12) doesn't turns out to be something MORE* than it appears to be; well that means they find out in 48 days; sometime in August 2009.
