I wish TV stations were required to identify the channels they are 
actually on, instead of the ones their analog predecessors used to use.

Can you imagine WBZ radio moving from 990 to 1030 in 194(2, was it?) yet 
continuing to say "WBZ 990" on the air years later?

I occasionally have people come to me complaining that they can't get 
"Channel 5" any more ever since it went digital. Well, it's not even on 
the VHF band now; you need a UHF antenna. "Oh, really?"
