As of some time on the night of April 30, AFN Korea ceased programming,
leaving only a still of the WTC1 workers putting in the girder that made the edifice the tallest building in NYC. That still (with no audio) remained until early yesterday afternoon, at which time they threw the switch and killed the signals. This marks the last OTA television signal for AFRTS anywhere in the world. AFN Korea was the last such system extant, as Korea is the last country still using the NTSC television system. All other NTSC broadcasts will end in Korea sometime in 2014. AFN has no intention of installing ATSC HDTV plants, and will instead continue serving troops, contractors and their families using base cable systems and DTS/DTH satellite. AFN Korea plants covered bases in Dongducheon, Uijeongbu, Seoul, Osan, Pyeongtaek, Daegu, Chinhae and Busan, mostly using low power UHF transmitters. I'll post a link to the still I recorded (not great quality, I long ago disconnected my UHF antenna for the local AFN channel, so was using just a Sony Hi-8 TV-recorder off it's own antenna. |
