When analog is shut down on February 17, DTV from KCBS will move from
channel 60 to channel 43 and DTV from KCAL will move from channel 43
to channel 9 (the channel it now uses for analog broadcasts). I
initially learned this from Mike Collis (WA6SVT) when he was showing
me around the KCBS and KCAL sites on Mt. Wilson, where Mike works as
an engineer (and looks after the ATN repeater in the KCAL building).

in Albany, NY, and in Chicago, there are already DTV broadcasts on
VHF. See http://www.hdtvexpert.com/pages_b/MusicalChairs.html .
