The FCC changed their minds twice about which spectrum to allocate.
First, they said all DTV would be UHF. Then, they amended "core" to
read channels 7-51. Finally, they seemed to conclude not all stations
could be accomodated in 7-51, and added 2-6 to the list.



It sure is a shame they didn't go through with their original plan. I
would have liked to have seen channels 2-6, or at least channels 5 and
6, given over to the FM broadcast band. Just think of how IBOC and LPFM
might have worked out if the FM band had a little room to expand!
