Many have erroneously maintained that DTV wasn't allowed on Chs. 2-6, 
only on Chs. 7-13, among Vees, but a search of applications and 
construction permits for DTVs on those channels reveals many of them.

One is in the nation's 3rd largest market ... WBBM-TV/2 has its DTV on 3.

Right now, WBBM-DT is licensed on Ch. 3, so they're way, way past the ap 
and CP stage.


In my area, an H-band VHF with a UHF DTV allocation moved its analog 
tranmsitter by more than a few miles (40 ?) in order to qualify for a 
change to a VHF DTV allocation. This DTV station is also in the licensed 
phase, and has been for several years.
