Now that the June 12 deadline has passed and the era of analog television is supposed to be over, most of the channels have indeed gone dark.
It's a bit eerie to turn on an old analog set (of which I have no shortage at present), flip through the channels and see nothing but snow.
In Los Angeles however, analog channels 2, 4 and 5 continue broadcasting. Except that they're all showing the same program: instructions in English and Spanish about how to hook up a digital TV converter box and antenna to receive DTV broadcasts on an older analog set.
If you didn't get ready for DTV, you'll learn all you need to know with what now appears to be the only programming available to non-DTV viewers.
KCAL doesn't offer embedded video from its player, but you can see the video of Channel 9's June 12 report via this link. And this much better video covers the shutoff of KCAL and KCBS Channel 2's analog signals. plus an earlier report before the analog signals of channels 2 and 9 were shut off.
KABC's embedded video player isn't working (at least not in this blog), so here's a link to the video of KABC Channel 7's final moments of analog broadcasting.
