WCGV & WVTV Shutting Off Analog Transmitters

[ArgMeMatey]

I wasn't able to watch - did they just do an abrupt shutdown of the transmitters, or did they actually do a signoff?

They did the wavy flag and jets flying off.  I should have been listening, I think it was the national anthem.  I was on the phone.  Then it went straight to static.

Thats awesome!  Because some stations around the nation while airing the NAB loop like Ch. 18 and 24 were, just turned the transmitter off during the NAB loop.

It's nice they did the SSB.  They should have also did the "Lord's Prayer" video that they used to air on weekend sign offs on ch. 18 during the 70s from the Ringling Arts in Sarasota, Fl.  

Course that video probably doesn't exist anymore.
