Usuaully its the stations the FCC did a screw-job on. They already had
low-band analog and were given either a low-band transition or a depricated
UHF transition in 52-69.

Congress should have mandated that the FCC find space on high VHF or UHF for
all stations that wanted it, with an emphasis on making a market have all on
UHF where possible, and where not possible, put many on high VHF so that not
a single station is alone there.
