Channels 2-6 are still allocated to TV, even after 2/09. Only channels
52-69 go away.

Granted, not many major stations are sticking with low-vhf but there
are a few. One of the more notable is WNAZ, the NBC affiliate in
Phoenix which intends to keep using channel 2.

You can check to see what type of antenna you'll need at
www.tvfool.com
You can select either the current stations, or post cutover. For
antenna purposes you want to look at "real channel". Some lucky
markets will be pure UHF after cutover, greatly simplifying their
antenna needs.
