Why the static between changing channels. Analog TVs would change channels instantly.

Here is my guess. The author is most likely younger than you and I. And has never experienced the instant response of analog.

Do you think the TVs before that were digital or hydraulic? Or what does the world "analog" mean in this context?

That doesn't explain a thing. The "static" came from weak signals or not tuning properly. Before digital TVs were a thing, analog TVs already had digital tuners, and suppressed the display while switching channels. Analog TVs are not synonymous with static while changing channel.
