This might be of interest to OTA users. The supposed list of changes for OTA
broadcasters, as of 04/04/2017:
https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-17-314A2.pdf
Lots of stations going off air, it appeared? Including my two favorites. But
the vast majority have actually decided to share channels with another station.
This is today's news:

The interesting info being here:
http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0720/DA-17-702A2.pdf
It appears that 1/23/2018 is a popular date for these stations to go off the
air.
Saved by the bell, my two favorites are not actually going off air, but are
channel sharing. But the weird part is, each one of those two channels is
currently transmitting five programs. It doesn't seem likely that they're going
to dump all five programs onto some incumbent channel. Will be interesting to
see how this plays out.
