There's also a broadcast station called WWHO on channel 53, also a UPN
affiliate, but it doesn't appear to be carried on cable.



WWHO is licensed to Chillicothe and calls them selves UPN Columbus, and
carries both WB and UPN networks for Columbus, It is available on cable in
Columbus.

In Boston, we've had WBZ-TV Channel 4 and WCVB (once WHDH-TV)
Channel 5 as long as anyone can remember.

The separation between those two sets of frequencies is wide enough
that such an allocation is allowable.

I believe the same thing can be done with 6 and 7 (both are at
opposite ends of the FM broadcast band).

Channels 4 and 5 aren't actually adjacent. There's 4 mHz of spectrum
in-between.
Channel 4 -- 66 to 72 mHz
Channel 5 -- 76 to 82 mHz

Incidentally, between 4 and 5 is where cable channel 1 lives.

What happened with BC 80-90 plus the "super A" proceeding should
have cleared up *that* misconception.

Then there are PSSAs, certain DAs, the seemingly perpetual waivers
for stations who were supposed to "move" to the expanded band, just
to name three for the AM band.

Ok. Why?

I always found it unusual that WFXI-TV in Morehead City NC managed to
get a channel 8 VHF allocation assigned to them. There's a full-power 7
and 9 less than 50 miles away and another channel 8 just across the
border in Virginia. That must have taken some extremely creative
engineering.

Under the old regulations adjacent VHF channel full-power stations must
be at least 95.7km (just shy of 60 miles) apart. (87.7km, just shy of
55 miles, for UHF)

The FCC shoehorned in a few short-spaced allotments back in the early
1970s, and it took awhile for them to decide who'd get those allotments.
Channel 8 in Knoxville, TN and Altoona, PA are two examples.

There was something floating around either on one of these groups or maybe

In addition to the ones in Chicago, here in Birmingham, AL we have two
stations on 91.1, both of which are college-run outlets.

WVSU operates at only 500w with a south-oriented directional antenna from
atop Shades Crest in the southern suburbs, and WJSR operates with a massive
100w which may be directional to the north from the far-north community of
Pinson.

About five years ago they both were 100w nondirectional, but both had really
low HAATs and several hills separating the signals. Either way, the only
place I could find discernable interference between the two was in east
B'ham near Century Plaza and in Tarrant City, just north of downtown.
