So if I am reading this correctly the stations that use to be on the lower VHF band are relocating to available UHF channels.

There are the same number of UHF channels now as there were 20 years ago - correct? So in effect all digital stations are getting packed closer together on the UHF band as well as maybe the high end of VHF. This will free up the lower VHF bands for other uses by the Goverment.

So.. over all in the future there will be less available bands for future tv stations to bid on. Am I correct on this.

Also I think that the lower VHF bands are really not the premium choices for digital broadcasting so maybe it does not much matter that future prospective stations lose a few choices.
