I see
VHF SD stations use the least watts
UHF SD stations use the most watts -- 10x the VHF stations
UHF HD stations are in the middle, but strange.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
There has always been a "problem" with television markets. For
instance, commercial TV stations in Baltimore can be received, to one
degree or another, in our area. Local, DC area commercial stations do
not like this because they cannot fully control advertising within
their own broadcast market. HD TV, with its essentially line-of-sight
signals, will cure this long standing "problem." The move to digital
television (I do not apply the term High Definition because there is no
requirement for such broadcasts in the digital realm) will, among other
things, iron out this "problem" in most instances. This is one reason
that TV stations want digital, along with their ability to "rent"
portions of their allocated spectrum to other commercial interests.
