Today I was at the website for another Dayton TV station, WHIO-TV 7. Their
website also has information on Dayton's UPN station. Dayton's UPN station
is apparently at Channel 44.



Apparently not... I'm not in Dayton, but your puzzle intrigued me. It
looks like the WHIO web site is the only place that makes any reference
to a "UPN 44", and notice there are no call letters, just "UPN44".

It looks like it's a cable-only station. If you go to one of the TV
listing sites and plug in a zipcode for Dayton, then choose a cable
system, you'll find a "MVC 44" listed on channel 44. Look at the
listings, and they're identical to the WHIO website's listings for UPN
44.

There's also a broadcast station called WWHO on channel 53, also a UPN
affiliate, but it doesn't appear to be carried on cable.

But getting back to your original point... there are not actually two
stations in Dayton on 44 and 45.

(There are some places where digital stations are on adjacent channels
to analog stations, but no adjacent-channel analog-analog or
digital-digital.)
