Times of when the analog signals will go off the air Channels 3 and 57: 12:30 PM, Channel 6: 12:15 PM. What about 10, 12, 17, 29, 35, 57 and 65?

I'm going to be in my car at 12:15, most likely driving through Philly. Maybe I'll turn off the iPod and tune to 87.7 to "hear" the change.
 
Another interesting thought about WPVI: they're switching their digital channel back to 6, which means they're going to go through complete disruption, unless they've got fiber feeds to satellite and cable.

This probably explains the 12:15 time. This lets them do a "special edition" of Action News at Noon, getting in a few stories, some commercials, and then the switchover, reminding people to re-tune their digital boxes at 12:30 after the adjustments are complete.

Of course, if the adjustments AREN'T done by 1, you're going to have a lot of angry "All My Children" fans out there.
