The studio did a two minute news story at the end of the regular 11-pm newscast. They showed some pre-recorded shots of the old analog and new digital transmitters and hyped about how much better digital is- ya-da-ya- but that was about it. And I suppose it's not really a big deal to them at this point- they made all the changes for digital several years ago so this is really a non-event to them.
After that we ran about 20 minutes of a repeating NAB DTV PSA on the analog channel only- then just before midnight I cut the carrier on the analog- for the last time. Probably the only people who care about this are old TV transmitter engineers and those few dense people who now only see snow on their TV.
