Detroit broadcasters go digital PART 2 OF 3 

Huh, it’s pretty fun to see the history of your local stations, the “if you have internet” part that the woman said on WXYZ gets me

At about 3:35, you can see a pattern of fine horizontal lines come into the picture and start hearing a high-pitch whistle in the sound. Another Channel 2 station started interfering with WJBK. This was quite the site that day. The analog shutdown was originally set for February (some stations actually did shut the analog signal off then). When some of the departing analog stations aired the "Nightlight" broadcasts, I was able to catch many other stations on channels 2 through 6, I received a LOT often those stations, because the June transition happened to be in the time of year when a naturally-occurring phenomenon called Sporadic-E skip reflects VHF signals back to earth. Some stations were from distances that were uncommonly short, or uncommonly long, for Sporadic-E. WJBK only had their nightlight service at full power for a few days, after which they operated at far less transmitter power. Oddly, this had the effect of changing WJBK's carrier frequency from plus offset (55.26 MHz) to zero offset (55.25 MHz).

1:14 To get your all- (static) 3:45 Because there are gonna be a few show- (nightlight service goes on) 5:44 In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! (static)

i remember watching this live 2017 edit: 7 years ago fuck

2:17 After WXYZ turned off analog channel 7, WJBK turned off analog channel 2 and digital channel 58 to move to digital channel 7, because channels 52-69 were removed at that time. And after the repack, channels 38-51 suffered the same fate.

Most digital transitions occurred in 2009, I think that was when television style was changed...

Anyone got a Video link of WDIV's Switch (on the Analog Side)?
