I was looking at my local area, and there's at least one example...
in Springfield, MO, new DTV 44-1 will be the NBC affiliate, while
44-2 will be the CW (and 44-3 will be "Weather Now", I guess it's
a clone of The Weather Channel?)
I was trying to prove or disprove our local (Joplin, MO FOX station
being simulcast on a DTV when they move, but I can't find it yet...
aah. Here, I found that the CBS affiliate, currently on 7, will move to
13, and Fox, currently on 14, wants to coexist on 13, but hasn't
gotten approval yet...

Yup. Our local PBS stations will be running 4 channels on each of the
local DTV frequencies, the "regular", the HD, Kids, and You. Eeh...

You sure it wasn't the fact that they want to vacate the 700 MHz
chunk of the spectrum? Other than that, the only thing I can think of,
and boy is it a long shot, is that the FCC is trying to get _all_ the tv
off of channels 2 thru 6... nah, never mind. :-(
