Yep. Soon they'll be sticking DTV stations en masse back on low VHF where they

As the TV folks know, the FCC expects to "reclaim" 40% of the frequencies now
allocated to TV, as they auction some channels and "repack" stations.

The Commission, at a workshop, indicated they think it will take just three
years from the auction to complete the relocations. 

... Or to kill off OTA TV.
