"Fast Track" Spectrum Reallocation Proposed - NTIA

One proposal is to reallocate channels 5 and 6 to expand the present FM broadcast band, possibly to accommodate all-digital transmission and to offer smaller local AM broadcasters some relief from the congestion of the present MW band.

It probably will never happen; makes too much sense.

 

>Nowadays, you have to be practically up under the UHF digital channels antenna to get good over-the-air reception. Any farther out and you have to have cable or satellite.


Maybe that's a good thing. Broadcast TV may not be a practical use of the limited RF spectrum when it can be delivered my more efficient means.
