68 is still on the air. I was recording WPRI as they signed off on 12. There
was no fanfare at all, and even the crawl that they'd been running on the
top of the screen was gone for the last half hour. I had WJAR-10 on another
TV, and they at least put a legal ID on the screen before pulling the plug.
Within minutes (maybe seconds), WWDP-DT was on the air on 10, and WNAC-DT
was on 12.
