There is also the issue of a few markets where full-power TV stations are operating on channels 5 and/or 6. Philadelphia has WPVI on 6, and there isn’t another viable place to move it thanks to the re-cram I mean repack. So, these 76 - 82 and 82 - 88 segments would be viable in most but not all markets.
We should have jettisoned VHF-Low TV when we had the chance in 2009, and compensated in the last repack by keeping just a few more UHF channels. Impulse noise murders high-bitrate digital TV (8VSB or COFDM) and that type of noise is very prominent on channels 2 through 4, and so-so on 5 and 6.
