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:

In the Detroit area, I get what I consider 35 useable channels over the air. It’s like a basic cable system for free.

As mutilplexing technology improves, they are fitting a lot more channels in the 6 MHz that use to be only 1 analog channel.
