If it's LPTV, they have to move.

Yep, W66AQ on 22 will have to move. I imagine Sinclair is less than pleased with this development.

Quote from the article

"This came via e-mail to us from Trip of the excellent site, Rabbitears.info!

Trip tells us today that WCPO has petitioned the FCC to abandon their channel 10 allocation for their digital signal, and make a move to RF 22 at 1000 feet (305 m) with 1000 kW of power.

That rather begs the question: Isn't all LP analog "better off" on VHF?

Eureka

LP analog would be better off if it would just go away. There aren't any new licenses being issued for it anyway, are there?

We had a similar DTV/LPTV analog situation here. A LPTV station (formerly K18EG), was broadcasting on ch 18, which the FCC also assigned to KFSM-DT, the local CBS affiliate a few counties away. Locals here filed complaints with the K18EG, KFSM and the FCC. K18EG became a "displaced" station and applied to move to ch 22. They are now known as K22HS.

From my experience, analog and digital on VHF LPTV are about the same in almost the same conditions.
