ATN7 Sydney Analog Signs Off for the Final Time

- The analog TV shutdown occured in Sydney on the 3rd December 2013 9am EDST. This is the final 5 minutes of transmission from ATN7, received with a Samsung VCR and digitized by a USB 2.0 capture card. Sign-off begins at 1:11.
More information, see goughlui.com/?p...
Seems like Seven was the only network to actually make a big deal of the analogue switchoff. Melbourne and Brisbane had their own tributes, whereas all the other stations cut to static.
In the uk the bbc made a massive deal about it with ad campaigns of a robot thing letting people know analog to is ending then when that day came they showed one of the first Veronese of the logo and a then it went static
@@TUYonTH-cam Digit AI be like
@@nutoutpizzadthehutseems like Seven Vietnam Network was still on the Digital and Analog , sometimes it is sign off on the SD quality in 2016 until it is back on the SD and HD quality in 2018
Thank you Gough Lui for your foresight and taking the time to setup your equipment to record the final 5 minutes of analogue TV. The song and cartoon at the end was played, as I remember, every night at 'station close' back in the 1970's & into the 80's when to TV stations in Australia had yet to progress to their 24 hour non-stop format they have today. That song "My City of Sydney" was sung by American singer-songwriter & actor Tommy Leonetti (1929-1979). He hosted a late night Sydney TV variety show in 1969 & 1970. It's a wonderful song that described Sydney back then and tugs at the heart of most long term 'Sydney Siders'.
David Palmer I’ll second that.
I remember him singing a sign off for Global Television Canada in 1982

We never got this in Perth. None of the channels gave this acknowledgement to the viewers. I would have loved to have seen that instead of having it cut off in the middle of an ad.
In America, it was a total mixed bag. Some stations did an old-fashioned sign-off sequence, some actually had their news programs take you behind the scenes to watch the engineers make the change (even though you wouldn't get to fully see it unless you were on cable/satellite, since the switch-off also briefly cut the digital terrestrial signals), others still simply had their news programs warn you when it was about to happen, and finally comes the group that just made the change with no ceremony or warning.
@@PhirePhlame And some others did nightlight programming until the 27th/28th of June.
@@PhirePhlame Right. WWL-TV in New Orleans just did the switch with little fanfare, but sister station WFAA in Dallas gave a very classy sendoff.
@@PhirePhlame KDKA was really good along with WNBC going back to the roots.
Channel 9 went off air overnight before the 9am switch off. Andrew Embley was the last person on TVW-7.

“My City of Sydney” sums up what we’ve lost. Sydney is cold, hard, difficult, overdeveloped, expensive, The parking meters and crowded beaches are unpleasant if not actually hostile. Road Rage is everywhere. Beautiful buildings demolished. Hopeless public transport. My Mansions, Greenspaces gone. Riverside parks turned into exclusive gated estates. If you remember Sydney up until the Mid 1990’s, you get this. I’m not even that old.
BS...
What’re you trying to say?
@@nickdryad Take this with a grain of salt as I've never been, but there's still lots to like about Sydney
@@LegoWormNoah101 I agree. But it has lost so much, that was so much better.
@@LegoWormNoah101 You think Sydney's bad wait for Melbourne!
There is some sense of peace I feel, knowing that those analog transmitters are finally getting a well deserved rest from running 24/7. Some had better fates than others though
Parts of this one ended up in the hands of Dave from EEVblog. th-cam.com/video/mR_wJkxKSXU/w-d-xo.html

Because Analog is like Digital’s Son.
DIGITAL is over rated. I don't care how modern it is. I have more fun with my Blu Ray player
@@flatcapman Blu Ray players put out digital signal
@VoyageOne1 Blu ray players don't dish out shit TV..BIG DIFFERENCE.
@@flatcapman Shit TV is shit regardless of resolution.
Just remember this every time you use a 4G (soon to be 5G too) mobile phone indoors. Most phone operators now use 700 MHz range for at least something nowadays where this signal used to occupy.
That's a good bit of trivia there.
Except, ATN7 was never on UHF, and certainly not on a channel higher than 51. In fact, all of the metropolitan Seven Network stations used VHF channel 7 for analog broadcasting, and then commenced their digital broadcasting on channel 6. The VHF set of frequencies (excluding Bands I and II, which consist of channels 0 to 5A) are still in use for television in Australia, and mainly for the metropolitan areas of Australia.
It's mostly the regional and rural areas that used UHF, although I couldn't off the top of my head tell you whether any of the stations in the regions and rural areas had ever occupied any of the channels between (and including) 52 and 69. There plausibly could have been, but I cannot be sure of this.
4:14 This service is about to end.

No

Channel 7 Sydney can be seen by a digital television and will no longer broadcast on older TVs.

The ending of that "My City of Sydney" song gives me the chills every time
Today, 3 December 2023, marks ten years since the end of analog broadcasting in Sydney. My goodness. Ten years have passed like nothing.

A comment from the USA: This closedown, along with BTQ-7 were the best I have seen from Oz. The song is great, but struck me as an "answer" song to Tony Bennett's ode to San Francisco. Neither Tommy nor Tony hailed from the cities they rhapsodized.
Good old Channel 7. That was a great ending, so many memories of Sydney for me, as a child in the 1970s. Vale analog, even though I won't miss you - not like the red rattlers :-)
kwas101 From memory, they were the only one to actually give a little tribute. Everyone else couldn't care less.

@@Ward1706 ??? Brisbane gave a subtle send off, just came across these videos and everyone who couldn't remember has ago at Queensland but gives it to Sydney?? I'm sorry? I didn't know it was a contest on who gave the most extravagant send off 😅😅 I think it was a little over the top and overtime.
Jeez, was just atv... I couldn't get channel 10 or sbs for eons untill they invented a set top box so ease up kids, really not missing much...
You had to end it with Tommy Leonetti.
My house is still full of old analog sets. It's well beyond the time to toss them.
You can use it for viewing VHS tapes, play game consoles etc
And you can create a home TV transmitter to send a digital signal over the air to multiple TVs at once
@@LegoWormNoah101And if you do that, analogue TV continues for you, although be prepared for some pixelation problems along the way should there be any poor weather conditions ahead. Otherwise, yes, go for it. Definitely. You’ll thank me later.
The music video and that shutdown sequence with that little TV with the Channel 7 logo just shows that they put a lot of effort into making these final 5 minutes
The Gang Kills Analog
Who in their right mind would want to go back from 1080p or 4k?? Analogue TV isn't the same as film or 2 inch multi track tape
For a multitude of reason stemming from the stability (not glitching up during climate problems), memories attached or aesthetic purposes.

It's Always Sunny in Sydney
Sydney's answer to WNBC-TV's final sign off in 2009, which is arguably scarier than WNBC itself's final shutdown.
Amazing way to end the Australian Analog TV with a bang and It's Alway Sunny in Philadelphia theme. Too bad, Human Nature fans (I'm confused was Human Nature an Australian boy band? Help me out) in their Analog TVs are sad when they missed their performance but Human Nature fans in their digital TVs, they'll be fine and have fun watching their holiday performance. I'm from America, (Delray Beach, Florida to be honest) and our analog TV shutdown takes place in 2009 5 years earlier, too bad I've missed out the permanent analog tv shutdowns because either I fell asleep or my family already had digital HDTVs in their rooms, ready for digital switch. Updated: My family is an digital cable TV network providing service users at the Time of the digital switch, I'm ok.
4:46 analog says bye bye
Good thing it's not static anymore! But why was everything dark? I hope Analog TV comes back and throws me a surprise party when it comes back with others!
That might be a difficult thing to do since all stations were required by law to make the switch
@@dobmaster4412 unethical law, it was dumb

Good night Analog TV
I know you?
The kangaroo is taking the letters of the channel away how good that happened on a TV channel that is so sad who else is with me
Oh boy am I lucky I had a Digital TV when this came on
This made me think oh shit well atleast I have DTV input and channels I'll tune in 7 Mate Later and ABC for kids edit 1 I do not watch kids shows it's for my sister edit 2 although I watch them with her but I never watch them alone it's weird
Digital TV is good for people who just sit on their asses in front of the TV and don't care about what's going on around them, they just want a lot of channels and a good picture, which they have with DVB-T/DVB-T2, but when a storm starts, for example, digital starts to chop, while with analogue the picture quality just gets much worse. So if, God forbid, a war came, a hurricane was approaching or something, it would be more difficult to inform people via digital TV. You're thinking, why can't we have digital and analog at the same time? Well, that would leave no room for 5G and 4G, so you'd have to use 2G and 3G internet globally. Anyone who wants lots of programming and HD video should just buy satellite or cable. But people today are too spoiled and the few durable analog channels just aren't enough. I'm sorry there is such a thing as digital TV.
That's the thing I've found utterly disturbing about digital terrestrial television.
For one, on the technical level, it's an "all or nothing" affair; you either have a good signal which doesn't glitch half the screen off and the sound out, or you have nothing.
On the practical level, sure, we can have a number of virtual channels on one frequency (though I believe there's a limit to how many channels can be output using the same frequency). In Australia, each of the five networks has/is (depending how you look at it) its own multiplex essentially, so that allows for, say the ABC to broadcast five SD channels, one HD channel, and then ten audio channels, of which five of them are simulcast AM and FM radio broadcasts (with the digital delay, naturally 😄), all on the one frequency. In the metropolitan areas of Australia, there are 39 TV channels and 21 radio channels. Of those five TV channels and three radio channels are duplicated, so in reality we have 34 separate TV channels and 18 separate radio channels. Of these, the main channels of each of the five networks broadcast on both SD and HD, and those are the only ones that broadcast on both SD and HD, while each of their secondary channels is either SD or HD. So that means we have 29 unique channels and 18 unique radio channels for TV. That's all well and good, but here's where we run into the main gripe with digital TV.
On the level of viewer satisfaction, much of what is broadcast on terrestrial TV is absolute garbage. The old adage "quality over quantity" really screams here. I remember when I grew up only having four analog channels to watch, and I adored much of what was on offer on each of the channels. The networks really put effort into either commissioning or buying proper programs that people actually might like to watch, which were beautiful works of performing art. Nowadays, it's just "cheaper" to commission and buy reality TV... apparently. The amount of idiocy in these reality shows, I believe, is contributing to the devolution of the human psyche and the decrease in the average intelligence quotient. And beyond that, I feel that too much TV is moving into the smutty category, which doesn't do anything for me except repulse me. Even now, at times when kids are home from school, the restriction on which programs are allowed to be broadcast at which times of the day seems to have been relaxed. It's not like they're going to show nudity necessarily, but some of these programs seem to be verging on soft porn. So unnecessary. So stupid. Analog TV might have seen this tsunami of reality and smutty TV come to be the norm, but digital TV presents it in such utter 1080i clarity, that it leaves nothing to the imagination.
That's why I don't watch terrestrial TV anymore. I'm better off watching TH-cam on my TV than sticking an antenna into the jack. There is nothing of value that I would want to watch on terrestrial TV. I even have gotten into the habit of watching TV through the actual streaming platform of the network that broadcasts on terrestrial TV. It's not quite 50fps yet, but I'm sure they'll figure it out at some stage 😅
If I ever win the lotto and build my own house, I am never using installing an antenna. There will not be an antenna jack in the wall. Terrestrial TV is dead to me.
Wouldn't it be great if they turned the signal off when terrible home and away was playing!

@@StFidjnr and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
If this channel on digital has a final sign off, in 2025 viewers will slow down, eventually in June 8 they had to shut down. But instead of the mother putting her joey to bed, she was too old and its about to die. The joey, now grown up, likes his mother used to do when he's a child, uses the T and N as a bed frame, A has the other, channel as a mattress, then puts his mother to bed. Then the joey puts the 7 as the blanket on her. The joey kisses his mother one last time And with tears in Sydney's eyes, he pulls the Curtin down one final time, as his mother dies of old age. Then the old analog tv, instead of saying goodbye, he said this.
"Thank you for watching channel 7 for the past 69 years, now its time to say goodbye to it. Well laughed, cried,shivered, and smiled at the channel. Now that the mother has died of old age and due to low ratings we are forced to shut down forever. Thank you goodbye." - tv
Than the e logo starts on and saying coming July 8,2025.
When the e released, it was the end of channel 7.

It depends more on the climate of said areas it’s shutting down in which can vary. I vaguely remember it being quite a warm day when it ceased transmission in my town which is quite close to Sydney.
