As part of the nationwide DTV transition<\/a>, on Friday, June 12th, Sutro Tower<\/a> ceased all analog television transmissions by powering down the three main analog TV antennas atop San Francisco’s iconic<\/a> three-legged broadcast radio tower.<\/p>\n

This change is reflected by their status page<\/a>, which now shows the top of the antenna mostly dark with the exception of a few FM radio stations, as shown below.\u00a0 The DTV mast in the center of the tower is providing temporary digital television service during the tower’s massive DTV conversion project<\/a>.<\/p>\n
