Ijust heard that WLNE in Providence and WWLP in Springfield shut off their nightline analog signals on the 16th. Any other stations shutting off analog soon?

WWDP-TV (analog 46, Norwell-Boston, MA) shut down at exactly 12 noon on the 16th. I had the privilege of pulling the old switch for the last time (thanks to WWDP's CE, Davor Haler).

I do believe that WBPX/68 and WPXG/21 have gone silent on analog as well.
 
Seeing you did the analog shutoff for WWDP Peter, what's the power and height on their digital signal? In Pawtucket, I cannot receive their digital signal at all. Are they nulled to the southwest?

Currently, they are running 5,000 watts (ERP) at 142 meters. I believe they are non-directional at the present time. They do have an application for 11,000 watts (give or take a few) to improve the area of which they already have a footprint. Even though I left WWDP about 7 years ago, I still keep in touch with my good buddies over there.
