Yep, that's true. And not just the ones mentioned in this article.Is it true that some of the UHF assigned stations will switch back to VHF Frequecies after Feb. 18, 2009 for OTA viewing ???
...Dave Converse, engineering VP for the ABC station group, expects the switch to be fairly smooth because ABC owns the facilities and therefore controls all the pieces of the puzzle. Nine of ABC's 10 stations have elected to return to their old NTSC assignments in the VHF band (2-13 for DTV) and the network's Fresno, Calif., station will move from a DTV assignment on VHF channel 9 to its old analog assignment, channel 30, in that UHF-dominated market...

Not without some coordination. There might be some signal conflict with the Philly stations....
With digital, can 2, 4 and 5 actually slip into 8, 10 and 12 to make everyone happy?
Just wondering..
Yes, the low end of the VHF has problems. Yes, digital stations are expected to interfere less. No one knows for sure until the switchover is complete. Part may be lower power levels authorized/used in certain areas.

I thought the whole point was to free up the vhf band?

It was my understanding that once the switchover occurs in Feb 2009 that the old VHF frequencies have to be turned over to the FCC for other uses.Is it true that some of the UHF assigned stations will switch back to VHF Frequecies after Feb. 18, 2009 for OTA viewing ???

Correct, but only the lower VHF band (Channels 2-6).
