Analog TV Screenshots (Nightlight)

After the analog television shut-off on July 12, 2009, a few stations in each city has remained on-air in analog mode, on their original channel. But, instead of airing regular programming in analog like the stations have been doing for a long time, these stations run a continuous loop of a video created by the National Association of Broadcasters. This video instructs viewers how to switch to DTV. DXers have called stations that are still airing in analog 'nightlighters.' These nightlight analog stations are slated to go off-air on 7/12/09, and broadcast exclusively in digital.

Stations are color-coded by propagation RDS was received by as follows:

Tropo/Groundwave
Sporadic E-Skip

You can now sort the data below by clicking on the column header. For example, to sort screenshots by date, click on the 'Date' column once. You would see my oldest screenshots listed first. Click the 'Date' column header again, and the sort will reverse, allowing you to see my newest recently-added screenshots listed first.
