Sure this is all true but why would WYOU & WBRE want to go to VHF after so many years of all Scranton area stations being on UHF?

Seems to me that many would not have any trouble if they went right back to 22 & 28 where they were in the first place. I drive through the Beach Lake, Hawley and Honesdale area very often on business and see the kinds of antennas on top of homes in the area. Only a few have changed from a UHF only antenna to a VHF/UHF antenna. Some of the ones that did not change either switched or are just wondering why they cannot get 22 & 28 and have not done anything about it yet.

Maybe the cable companies and antenna dealers are paying them off to force people to either sub to cable or buy another antenna. Some can't get these channels from Dish even though Dish is sending the HD feed via satellite but on a spot beam that misses most of the western viewing area.

I am sure I would not have any problems getting 22 and 28 as long as they sent out a good powered OTA signal. I might even get WPIX and WNET OTA as these were receivable to me years ago (pre 1977 before cable arrived on my street) and before I tried the OTA antenna again just recently.
