To promote a smooth transition.

If broadcasters placed all their revenue-making programming
over their digital channel, then the analog channel could
be turned off without a problem, once enough viewers had
made the shift.

If instead broadcasters are allowed to use *two* revenue
producing 6 MHz channels, how easy will it be to yank away
6 MHz worth of revenue in 2006?
