I did! The first picture is of WGBC channel 30 (NBC) minutes before it went dark at 11:59 PM. The second picture is the blank raster from the VCR after they flipped the switch. Seen on a 23" 1969 Zenith tube-type B&W console.
Next, we have a picture of WMDN channel 24 (CBS) just before it said bye-bye. The last picture is the blue raster from the vcr after they throwed the breaker at 12:01 AM. CBS programming will resume on analog channel 30 (former NBC channel) starting at 6 AM and will run until 2/22, according to the latest update on their website. The reason for this is because they are taking the digital CBS feed off the air in order to do tower work. Seen on an '81 GTE-Philco 19" color TV.
The only channels that remain are WMAW-14 (PBS), WTOK-11 (ABC), and a low power religious station (47). WMAW has been running crawlers claiming that they will stop analog on 2/17; but, I don't know exactly what time. WTOK will stay on the air for an undetermined amount of time, mainly for emergency broadcast. I'm sure the LP religious station will stay on longer, since they are not required to switch.
