Channels 2-51 are the official final resting place for ATSC post-analog shut 
down.  I know of several stations that either are or plan to operate on VHF 
post analog shut down, but not too many in the low VHF 2-6.  Impulse noise 
is cited as the reason.

Had I been the FCC Czar, I would have forced everyone to ultimately land on 
a UHF channel post transition, thereby putting every broadcaster big and 
small on more or less level ground.
