Phoenix AZ analog shutoff times will be:
KTVK (IND) - 12:01 am (on June 12 not June 13)
KPHO (CBS) - 11:59 am
KSAZ (FOX) - 8:30 am
KPNX (NBC) - 11:59 am
KNXV (ABC) - 11:59 am
KTVW (UNI) - unable to find
KUTP (MY) - 8:30 am
KASW (CW) - 12:01 am (on June 12 not June 13)

Don't know where you got your info from, but the countdown clock for KTVK and KASW is counting down to June 12, not necessarily to the analog shutoff.

KPNX is saying that they'll switch during 12News at 10. I don't know if that means they're shutting off analog at that time or moving digital from pre-transition ch 36 to post-transition ch 12, or both. I suspect both, as it didn't take KAET but about 5-10 min. from the time they shut off analog until they moved digital from pre-transition ch 29 to post-transition ch 8.

As for the others, I would suspect you mean 11:59 pm, not am.

I got my info from a DTV program that aired on KSAZ on Sunday and on that DTV program they said KPHO, KPNX and KNXV would shutoff analog before noon.
 
As of 1.30 pm today Jun 11, all Los Angeles stations are still on in analog like normal. I'm assuming most will switch at midnight.
 
I will update the list for Houston, TX (times I have so far):
KPRC (NBC)-unable to find
KUHT (PBS)-unable to find
KHOU (CBS)-6:45 am
KTRK (ABC)-6:45 am
KTXH (MY) -6:45 am
KRIV (FOX) -6:45 am
KIAH (CW) -6:45 am
KXLN (UNI)-unable to find
KTMD (TEL)-unable to find
KNWS (IND)-unable to find
KZJL (IND)-unable to find
KTBU (IND)-6:45 am
KFTH (TELEF)-unable to find


Safe to assume this means most if not all Houston stations are switching at 6:45 am

I saw KUHT run an advisory that they are signing off the analog "in the early hours of Friday morning."

I'm still hearing that everybody else in Houston pulls the plug at 6:45am. KPRC will be the nightlight station. LPTV KHLM/43 may have already flash cut; no sign of them in analog at my location this afternoon.

Latest latest from upstate NY, where the situation remains fluid:

Syracuse - WSTM 3, WSYR 9 at 12:01 AM, with WSTM switching to nightlight; WCNY 24 at 1 AM (with WSTM-DT 24 signing on sometime thereafter); WTVH 5 at 9 AM

Rochester - WHAM 13 at 1:35 AM, WHEC 10 at about 2 AM, WXXI 21 to nightlight at 8 AM (nightlight to July 10), WROC 8 at 11:35 PM

Buffalo - WIVB 4, WKBW 7, WNLO 23, WPXJ 51 at 9 AM (with WPXJ-DT 23 signing on right away); WNYO 49 at 11 AM (flash-cutting to DTV on 49); WGRZ 2 to nightlight at 1 PM (nightlight to 6/26).
 
Hey Scott,

Any word on WWTI (Watertown?) I have my experimental TV set up here in Oswego, and am wondering who will go last: WWTI or WTVH. Also, any idea on how long the nightlight service will last on WSTM (Syracuse?)

Thanks.

A story on WWTI's website claims 11:59 PM Friday. If we get a bit of lake trop tomorrow night, it may be the last analog standing from here in Rochester, too.

As for WSTM, it doesn't appear on the very latest version of the nightlight list that the FCC put out today...so it may be that they're gone for good in about 50 minutes. We'll see...

UPDATE: Two (three) stations will. KING/5 will nightlight until the 26th, while KBTC/28 and sister KCKA/15 will stick around until July 10.
 
Updating my last post on Milwaukee (the maintenance last night somehow prevented me from doing a modification of my original post)

Milwaukee (Per MilwaukeeHDTV.org) ([http://www.jsonline.com/entertainment/tvradio/47879367.html]Now updated by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel[/url])
WTMJ (NBC) - Oddly, 12:05pm (I guess to get an advantage of some kind over the ol' rivals at Channel 12? Also nightlighting...for two hours. 2pm, that's it)
WITI (Fox) - 11:30am (Nightlighting for two weeks, ending with a station history)
WMVS/WMVT (PBS) - 9:00am (with one of their historical sign-offs taking them to the end)
WISN (ABC) - 12:00pm
WVTV (CW) - 9:00am (Station already is all digital, but is moving their digital signal from 61 to 18 at that time)
WMLW-CA (Ind) - Keeping analog 41 on, not affected as it's LPTV
WBME (MeTV) - 9:00am (possibly staying on as a nightlight according to the FCC, but with an analog tower ready to go at any moment)
WPXE (Ion) - 12:00pm (J-S says 11:59:59pm, but the station's engineer is saying noon and I'd go with the guy actually flipping off the switch)
WDJT (CBS) - 11:59:59pm (but with a complicated process of taking off full-power 58, bumping the CBS schedule to Telemundo affil WYTU-LP 63, which will still air Telemundo over a WBME subchanel, and 63 being an enhanced nightlight as of 9:00am Friday)

WVTV, WCGV (MyNet) and WVCY (Religious) all are digital already.

Weigel is really using their low-powers to their advantage also (as they're doing with WDJT); they agreed today in Chicago to air WMAQ and WGN's newscasts on WWME-CA (Channel 23), which instead of MeTV will air WCIU outside of newscast hours for the next month or so.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have made a huge goof.

I thought analog broadcasting here in Alaska will start to cease right at midnight a while ago; but I now realize it'll be at the end of today when the switches will be flipped off permanently.

KAKM in Anchorage will be the first, followed by KUAC here in Fairbanks. And after that, it'll be the commercial stations' turn to say goodbye to 56 years of analog television in the 49th state!
 
Update in the Mobile-Pensacola TV market:

WKRG-TV will broadcast digital TV information on the analog signal beginning at 9:00 AM until 12:00 AM, when the signal should be off.
