When the country goes all digital Chan's 2 through six will no longer be authorized for television use, they will be converted to other radio services. Also some UHF channels (I think the 60's) will be dropped even as they dropped 70-83 some years ago. These too will be converted to other radio services. So that is why 4 and 5 are going to UHF, There are, in fact 3 or 4 TV bands VHF-Low Chan's 2,3,4,5 and 6 I think there is a break (Chan's are normally every six MHz) VHF-HIGH (Chan's 7-13) and UHF, (The rest of them) They are going to drop VHF-Low when they go all digital.
