WAGA-TV dedicated the first half hour of their noon newscast to the cutoff. The first chief engineer, who is 99-years-old and turned the transmitter on in 1949, had the honor of turning the transmitter off shortly before 12:30 P.M.
WSB-TV turned off a minute or so later, the switch was pulled by two of their veteran newsmen. Unfortunately, they reduced power in the 11 o'clock hour, and the picture was very marginal.
I recorded the end of these two stations, and will post them on my Youtube account when I get back home Tuesday. (Youtube account "audubon5425")
