KADN Analog Signoff

On June 12, 2009 at 10AM, KADN-TV in Lafayette, Louisiana transitioned to digital-only operation. This was the video shown immediately before going into nightlight mode and looping an instructional video from the National Association of Broadcasters.

I'm glad to see a station that still cares and puts character and heart into broadcasting. Well done.

[@TimelordR]

Now THAT'S how you end a Analog Broadcast!

[@MsSissiePooh]

A nice retrospective of KADN throughout the years, with plenty of humor, good natured goofiness and fun. One of the best analog sign-offs I’ve seen. Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@kja8493]

I totally forgot about the great boudini!! That brings back memories.

[@BobbyHarveyVideoProductions]

That was one of the best analog sign-offs I've seen. 5*****

[@gladfan1989]

Sure wish more stations had the class to say goodbye to analog like they did. Beautifully done.

[@MrUnidyne]

And goodnight Mr. Farnsworth, wherever you are!

[@radiochenlot]

Agreed. That was a great one and it sounds like the folks at that FOX station have fun working together too.

[@Juancolon2003]

This concludes our broadcast day on analog

[@jleblan1]

Only lafayette station to do a sign-off, others just did a dry cut.

[@Jude1968]

That was great! too bad the first Channel 15 logo couldn't have been incorporated into it...the ones where the station logo was actually painted on canvas with scenes of bayou life.

This was sad... 😢

[@memoriblewerd]

we need to have the National anthem at 12pm every night

[@memoriblewerd]

Haha oops

[@davidmatthewvinotjr8396]

@@memoriblewerd you meant 12 AM. I would say at 2AM each night after you figure in late night programming, and be off until about 5 to 6 AM.

12AM

no.

[@richardburkard9839]

Cuban radio plays it at midnight every night.

I liked this retrospective video-- more channels should have done this!
"Watch What We're Doing Now!"-- going off the air? :)

Watch what were doing

[@RaymieHumbert]

Watch out for the very rare Doug Tisdale voiceover at the start of the clip! (He's only known to have done TWO stations' news opens!)

[@GoanimatorGuyvgcputtp]

I was watching this morning until happened 0:01 kadn channel 15 off air by FCC and NTSC

[@NEPatriot]

Indeed!

[@signoff12]

was that countdown leader also broadcast?

[@BFDT-4]

Do we know anything of the orchestra, conductor, announcer, or producer of the National Anthem played in c-major that ends that analog broadcast?

[@erickpaolosantos6825]

It's from 1940's or sometimes circa 1950's during sign on and off

[@riceymartin2203]

@@erickpaolosantos6825 The audio exists on CZcams.

[@TimothyOnline]

Classy.

[@regularperson2057]

I feel bad for some channels that got kicked out

Stop on for 15 for Hawaii

[@jayrogers8255]

Where’s the static once the transmitter was turned off?!?!?!

[@karlgalway7605]

It went to nightline straight after the final screen. The static came 2 weeks later I think

[@jordanthomas7304]

Cool like Fox!

FOX系列という右派のネットワークだから、レベルフラッグだと思いました。

[@Trainlover1995]

Was the Great Boudini a local personality?

[@acadiel]

BNSF1995 Yep. Remember him as a kid on 15.

These promos remind me of late nights spent huffing butane in a pair of semen encrusted pantyhose. Man, I miss the 80's!
