WLUK, Fox 11 in Green Bay, long the lower-peg network station in a market dominated by WBAY and WFRV (but yet can make the claim as the home of the Packers and ratings many network shows drool over), leaves the air for the last time in analog on June 12, 2009 at 10am as only one of two stations along Wisconsin's lakeshore to go back to their analog home channels. After "Good Morning Wisconsin" anchor Rachel Manek somehow manages to almost sync right in with the ticker announcement below her (really, she does, just watch), the station cuts to black for a moment while the magical elves over at Charter Communications race to reposition the antennas and change the tuner for WLUK from their temporary channel 51 back to Channel 11, which they assure us will be more powerful and easier to recieve than 51 ever was (and that's true, somewhat by my experience). Then Rachael Ray comes on-screen and the switch is made. Recorded on a DVR, transferred to VHS, then again recorded by my tuner card before a minor tweak to increase the volume in Windows Movie Maker.
