i find station names in the us so bizarre, why are they like a random mash of letters and numbers, and different based on the specific are youre in? in australia we just have abc, sbs, 7 9 and 10 for our primary public service television, and they're the same across the entire country
I never understood the need to shut off analog across the world when the bandwaves have not really been used for anything and AM FM radio still exists to this day
I'm born in 97' and lived through the NTSC era. A year before digital TV occured, I had cable and when June 12, 2009 at 12:30pm hit, I still had cable and nothing happened. It's now been 14 years since Analog TV ended. NTSC was an American household staple and will always be forever in our hearts.
Honestly, this whole video epitomizes what American TV was like in the late 2000's for so many people not just in the New England area, but across the whole nation. Local News Stations you would see every day heading out to work and school, shows on PBS like Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends which would start the weekends for so many Kids in those days, Commericals and Updates on big shows of the day, Adult live drama shows about a whole assortment of topics, in this case Prision, the kinds of shows i'd see my Uncles watching during the afternoon, and big New Media covering national events that would affect everyone in a community, in this instance the Analog to Digitial Transition! Even if this era is long gone, its fun to look back on what our lives were like then I suppose (Kind of fitting how Thomas goes to Sleep at the end right as Analog TV came to an end in the East Coast!)
