A YouTube user has uploaded the final moments of WFAA-TV's analog signal as seen on the small analog screen on the digital channel, which includes their landmark nightly sign-off video used in the 1960s to 1970s as their analog send-off.

I did see the analog shutoffs of KXAS, KXTX, KFWD, and KMPX through others' YouTube videos; but nothing special.

At 0:42 there's a titlecard with "Evening Edition Weather"

WeatherProof perhaps?

Signs point to yes.

</magic 8 ball>

That is coming to TWC...and they're doing things to a mobile home. Most likely, this will be WeatherProof.

No answer.

Why didn't you put a question?

I really only watch George Lopez ( ) and VERY RARELY Roseanne when nothing's on in the early mornings (which I haven't seen on the guide for a while on N@N, did they drop it?).

The Nanny has to go. Now.

Because that'd make too much sense.

Why has TWC gone down the toilet?

I'm good but it'll just have to be a camera looking at my TV at the satellite LF.

Everyone fine with that? I have close to no equipment to do this except a DVR and a digital camera with movie capabilities.

Our nightlight here (KYTV, NBC) is on for 2 weeks.

They pulled the plug on the analog signal at 6:07 PM CDT on-air on the 6 PM newscast (anchored by my friend Steve Grant )...and here's the glitch.

Apparently DISH and DirecTV were somehow receiving what was on the analog signal, and right after the guy who pulled the plug said "Iiii did it," the screen went black.

About 2 seconds later the informational video that should have been only on analog was displaying on ALL DISH and DirecTV TV's.

This was fixed about 90 minutes later...but wasn't that interesting? Here's the video story on the KY3 website. http://www.ky3.com/home/video/47953491.html

I'm going to work on getting a video of it.

My favorite (not) commercials are from the cable companies that say if it's sprinkling you'll lose signal. We've gone through a TORNADO WARNING with our signal staying up. We went through the most recent ice storm (~0.75" of ice) with our signal up for the times we had power, which was all but maybe 2.5 hours tops.

Fail.
