Well, analog ended without even a whimper here.
The ABC affiliate on channel 3 simply went to snow. The NBC affiliate out of Paducah, WPSD, had a bit more class. They at least played a 1990 vintage sign off with the Star Spangld Banner followed by a short color bar screen, then snow. On a happier note, I had that old 63 Zenith b/w console on channel 3 for 14 straight hours, connected to a set of bunny ears. PERFECT reception the entire time. There is a store that sells those refurbished maggy/sylvania/emerson vcr/dvd combos for 40$. Think I'll get one and hook it up to this old girl to watch vintage b/w movies on. Not much else to do with her now.

Watched tapes of the shutdown of analog in the Knoxville and Chattanooga markets on all our old Roundies. Watched Channel 8's shutdown on our working CT-100 with our neighbours gathered and their children live. All these sets have converter boxes installed. We have many spares in reserve!
