Justis,

The Frequencies have not been Abandoned :
No 'public' Plans have been Announced to date.

IMHO the Best most practical use of two of the former
VHF Analog TV Channels is to Expand the FM Band !
"HD" Radio makes sense in an "Expanded" FM Radio
Band to cover 76 MHz to 88 MHz to create and additional
60 Digital Audio Radio Channels for many of the AM/MW
Radio Stations to Transition to . . .
Simply by using the TV Spectrum from the former Analog
VHF Channels 5 and 6.

The future of Terestrial Radio is in FM HD-Radio Broadcasting.

The FCC should have simply left the AM/MW Radio Band
remain Analog and simply fade away.

Plan For The "HD" AM/MW Radio Band :
Going All Digital And Beyond !
