While it was told that ALL VHF television would move to UHF, I don't believe that is going to be reality. I could be wrong, however My local channel 12 is moving to channel 9 with the digital transition... 73, Paul N1BUG

Reality Channels 2-13 will mostly be vacant. There are a small number of stations that will revert back to their hi VHF channel after Feb 17. Hi VHF channels 7-13. Here in Tucson only one station will revert back to their original channel. KGUN on 9. Other VHF stations in Tucson, 4,6,11 13

Yes, PGH is all UHF. As I mentioned, look at Harrisburg's DTV allocations. They have one on Channel 2. (I pity their 6M activities as much as I rejoice PGH's channel 2 going away) Joe M. Kevin Custer wrote: MCH wrote: will free up airwaves for use by emergency responders.??? The TV
