In this video I document the last day of analog NTSC TV broadcasting in the United States on July 13th, 2021. I show TV stations that are still on the air and as they shut down thanks to viewer submitted videos. Besides a few translators in Alaska analog TV should no longer exist in the US. Were there any TV stations that stayed on the air past the deadline? Link to my video explaining the future of Franken FMs on 87.7FM: /watch/0hp5-_1qk2Tq5 Thanks to the following people who submitted footage: Steve Martilotta from Syracuse (WVOA-LP Shutdown)” /watch/wdl3ELGAxKDA3 Steve Ehrhardt from Missouri (WVOA-LP DX): /watch/4dq1Xr4u2T2u1 YouTuber Jesus Villalpando (WSRW-LP Shutdown): /watch/48Y-xw3gQFsg- YouTube channel pepsiru1es92 (WAWW-LP footage): /watch/EhRZt6utBvstZ Youtube channel Jman to the 64 (WDCN-LP Shutdown): /channel/UCTP1cHW4n2iAuX6r5v7Bq1g/videos Youtuber Michael Huynh: /watch/IAtO3xpukR5uO For an antenna recommendation from me visit my website: http://antennamanpa.com/antenna-recommendations.html Check out the Antenna Man Store for recommended antennas and accessories: https://www.amazon.com/shop/antennaman Considering a Channel Master antenna?

    @ZacharyDietzeمنذ 3 سنوات Analog was always better than cable, even back in 2009 before all of the main channels were forced to switch. I’d rather take the snow effects and slight distortion over freezing up and buffing loading any day when given the opportunity. And maybe it was just me, but there was also less ads on analog too, and was way easier to record footage from. Of course it wasn’t as big of a loss to me as some other people since I’ve largely already transitioned to the internet a long time ago before that, but it still sucked that TV was no longer convenient anymore by then, and especially not now since stuff like streaming services are taking over, making them even less reliable since they absolutely need to connect to your wifi 24/7 with no brief dropouts in between. I just try to stick to downloading as much as I can, wether it be through purchases or through pirating and/or archiving. It’s way more convenient by then, has no connection issues, no ads, and is most likely to be cleaned up more than how it originally aired on television anyways. But still, it really sucked that they still went under at the time because while the internet was starting to go on a massive rise by that point, not everyone would still transition quick enough or could afford it, and it certainly doesn’t help when some areas can receive signals worse than others too depending on where you are. Shame on the FCC and everyone else involved for forcing the shut down of independent stations. Everyone should have an alternative to watch television, no matter how low in quality it is. Imagine having no option to watch television anymore by the 1990’s unless you subscribed to the internet, which was still in its public infancy at the time. None of the kids would’ve had a clue what the heck a “TV” or “Nickelodeon” were if that was to happen. I know it’s a more drastic comparison, but still, the point is that not everyone is willing to fork out an absurd amount of additional money just to watch something. The internet by itself is expensive to keep as is, so I don’t think paying for stuff like streaming services is worth it at all. My parents still subscribe to one or two services at a time, but if I was them, I would just not pay for any period and look for free alternatives. It’s not like the exclusive content from each service gets dumped in some places the same day or day after they come out anyways. Yao what people might think that’s cheating, but unless there’s physical releases for said media, then I don’t think there should be a problem in downloading stuff myself. It’s the same reason why emulation is a thing for video games, because most of those games aren’t even playable anymore on modern systems. It’s not because we get paying for stuff entirely, it’s because of preservation. Why else do you think stuff like the lost media community is much bigger now than it ever has been before? Hell, even before stuff like that, restoration efforts have always been a big deal even during the late 20th century. (I say late because everything before the 1970’s was always trashed and replaced, even for popular stuff at the time since it wasn’t easy to have physical home media until then. There’s currently over 90 lost Doctor Who episodes for a comparison! I don’t care for that show a lot, but that’s a lot, and that’s just from a fully syndicated show!) So yeah, I don’t feel bad about simply downloading stuff off the internet anymore. It’s not like it’s an illegal thing to do anyways, and even if it was, it’s still much easier and preferable than paying for something I can have in a worse way and with the money I do not have. Needless to say, the only things I go out of my way to buy physical media for these days is video games still being made and sold, but even then it’s not exactly hard to just buy something like an SD card (For the Nintendo Switch at least) and put all the digital purchases on that either. It’s less preferable but hey, it’s another physical option technically speaking, I guess.
    Damn, I really went off on a tangent there didn’t I? Lol

    @jpsnedمنذ 2 سنوات "Analog over-the-air TV had a charm that will never be matched." Very nicely put. I grew up during the 1960s and 70s in central NJ --halfway id="hidden37" class="buttons"> between Philly and New York--and this was our VHF lineup on our RCA Victor B&W TV:
    2--WCBS, NYC
    3--some Philly station that didn't come in well
    4--WNBC, NYC
    5--WNEW, NYC
    6--same as 3
    7--WABC, NYC
    8--didn't come in at all
    9--WOR, NYC
    10--WCAX, had same programming as CBS
    11--WPIX, NYC
    12--didn't come in at all
    13--WNET, public TV out of Newark, NJ, often didn't come in well
    Seems like we had our antenna pointed toward NYC! When my family got a TV with a UHF receiver (channels 14-83), the only channels we could get were channel 29 (WTAF, Philly), and I believe 48, which I never watched.
    Things I remember about analog TV were that the programming wasn't bunched together in such a split-second manner as it is with cable. You always had about a second or so of empty space between commercials and programming. On the back of the TVs you had Horizontal Hold and Vertical Hold knobs to adjust the picture when that was needed. Also, I remember the fact that it took the TV a few seconds to warm up, and then you had that vacuum-tube glow on the tube after you shut the TV off. ❤

    @Knaeckebrotsaegeقبل 11 أشهر Not really OTA, but in Germany we still had analog cable TV (which is much less of a luxury here than it seems to (have been) in the US?) til mid 2021 id="hidden40" class="buttons"> with around 35 stations. The shutdown announcement via on-screen banners came rather abruptly (only a week or two before the shutdown). Very much a shame as this was the last easy way to demo and test analog equipment (TVs and VCRs mainly) without having to set up your own in-home low power transmission clusterfck. That said, OTA in itself was also a fck of many clusters. DVB-T (the equivalent to ATSC here) was pushed REALLY hard, but only a couple years after the analog OTA shutdown, private stations began to drop from DVB-T citing too high transmission costs vs. viewership, which in turn made getting a DVB-T receiver even less appealing than it already was, between reception issues and dropouts. 2019 then saw the final nail in the coffin as DVB-T (based on MPEG2 video like a DVD) was shut down and replaced by DVB-T2 based on MPEG4. And while they were at it, they also cranked the DRM knob all the way to 11 so the only stations you could receive for free were the 3 or 4 state-run ones, making DVB-T2 basically a stillborn. End of the story? OTA is dead, both analog and digital. Yay for "progress" huh? ....وسعت 2

When they first came on the air, they ran a continuous loop of audio and never gave ID's. id="hidden43" class="buttons"> What happened was, they were reported as being a "pirate station" because they were throwing a massive signal over Norfolk, but never ID'd themselves or had any talking other than liners. When the FCC investigated, they discovered they were over power and fined them. They were on one of the tall TV towers in Suffolk, VA.
    As of now, Streetz FM is broadcasting on an FM signal at 102.1 they bought(?) in Virginia Beach which doesn't even cover all of the Hampton Roads area, and the Franken FM on channel 6 seems to be gone.

    @Garfieldescuمنذ 3 سنوات It's truly sad that analog is gone in the US. Canada will still have them for some time. My country has stopped broadcasting in 2018, Moldova, our id="hidden50" class="buttons"> neighbour is set to stop in september, hoping I can go there before the shutoff. Bosnia which isn't far away actually broadcasts analog much more than Moldova, so I might make a trip. ....وسعت 1

    @intermissionbuffaloمنذ 3 سنوات Limited local air staff is right. All the time I hear stations have problems right on the midnight hour because the stations aren't manned anymore. 1

    @IMLMadras1stمنذ 3 سنوات Hey Antenna Man, do you have any idea why, in my hometown of Tijuana, if you had an old TV with knobs you could tune to approximately channel 80-ish you were able to hear phone conversation from I don’t know where?

    @ignatiusgrippaمنذ 3 سنوات WVOA should've been spared just for their brilliant use of the Atari Video Music. To pick that signal up out of the blue late at night would've been the coolest. 2

    @guillermorodriguez836منذ 3 سنوات In San Diego channel 6 used to be Fox. I remember when we would tune the big speaker stereo to 87.7 and watch Star Trek TNG, or other Movie-the-Week. Very much a poor man’s theater sound for a CRT tv with no audio out. 1
