Station WNBK in Dover, OH decided that 7:57 pm on this night would be a good time to switch channels, using their new transmitter tower. WNBK instructed people ahead of time that, at three minutes before 8pm, they would be moving from channel 4 to channel 3, and viewers should change channels at that time. Why they chose a time during the broadcast is unknown, but folks watching the ending of the Marriage Proposal episode who didn't know of the change may have been surprised or angered that it shut off before the ending.
