Even more reason to convert the old Analog TVhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high_frequency
5 and 6 over to an Expanded FM Radio Band


It's bad enough we lost UHF channels 51 and up. Now you want
the FCC to take away channels 5-6 too? **** that idea.


Hmmm. Sounds like you don't like the idea of someone going in and
messing up that particular piece of spectrum, huh?



Not the same. The FCC's decision to convert from analog-to-digital on
the AM band does Not make the bandwidth any smaller. It's still the
same size as always (530-1710).

But deleting channels 5-6 *does* shrink the bandwidth for television
(and also puts several stations across the nation out-of-business).
