Evansville Analog Shutdown Times
June 10th, 2009Less than two days until the shutdown of analog signals in the Evansville market.
Here is the timing (depending on who you ask):
- WFIE 12:01am Friday
- WNIN 12:01am Friday
- WEVV 9:00am Friday (to nightlight status)
- WTVW 11:59pm Friday
- WEHT 11:59pm Friday
The ND at WEHT is saying that they will shut down at 12:01am, but the GM is saying 11:59pm. I’m leaning toward the 11:59pm time as WEHT’s time needs to coincide with WTVW’s because of the channel number moves.
And it was just announced this morning that WEVV will act as the nightlight station for the market. Channel 44 analog will stay on the air for another two weeks, airing only looping DTV information for those last three people who thought the stations were all kidding and would never shut down the good ole analog tee-vee.
Once all the dust settled, turns out WAZE-TV/DT is being sold after all. Roberts Broadcasting Company is selling WAZE-TV/DT (Channel 19/DT20, Madisonville, KY) along with three LPTV simulcasters
