They aren't going anywhere, they are used now by the
DTV stations. There never was an "analog band" or a "digital band", just the TV band.
Eventually all analog will be gone. There isn't a date set yet for Low Power or Class A stations to convert, but the
FCC promised it is coming in the next 3 to 5 years.
The really big question is what will happen to Low Band. Whom ever at the
FCC though it was suitable for
DTV was smoking something (actually it was a scam to sell off 52-59 saying "Hey we left you 2-6"
In my humble opinion, they should allow low power analog to remain on 2-6 for the near future.
Which stations are considered low power stations?
Linear Mode
