• Nightlight is a station that aired continuous (looped) DTV Transition information beginning on June 12, 2009 (except for emergency and severe weather alerts). Although Nightlights were allowed to operate until July 12, only a small number remained on the air until that date. Nightlights used various types of local IDs. • Transition Highlight photographs display local DTV Transition information that was broadcast on or prior to June 12, 2009. This includes a variety of on-air Transition-related material. These stations left the air or switched to Nightlighting by midnight on June 12. |

WNEM-5's ID slide is one of the best Transition Highlights received here. WNEM-5 was running this DTV Transition-related message screen continuously on the morning of June 12, 2009. |

Nightlight WCVB-5 Boston, MA via E-skip at 1,409 Miles 2 July 7, 2009 |
|
WCVB-5 had their own local program entitled Digital Truth, which was hosted by WCVB-5 newscaster Susan Wornick. See the WCVB-5 Website
This was actually the most interesting of the Nightlights logged here. If they had displayed that famous "5" logo continuously, this would have been my favorite Nightlight overall. At 1,409 miles, WCVB-5 was my most-distant Nightlight. |

WLWT-5's logo and ID are lower right. They were not there full-time. WLWT-5's Nightlight presentation was more unique than most. |
KVVU-5 LAS VEGAS AND MURPHY'S LAWS OF DXING You might want to call this the ugly side of TV DXing... Murphy and his Laws of DXing did a bang-up job on this one: While the signal was good at times during the national DTV program, it was very poor during the locally inserted content. The telephone number on the screen is indeed KVVU-5's number ("FOX5 702 435-5555"), but is so difficult to read that I debated whether these pictures of KVVU-5 are worthy of inclusion on this page. On the other hand, the marginal-quality photos of KVVU-5 newscasters John Huck and Olivia Fierro do match pictures on |
