I can't picture that ever happening; I understand it will allow each station to broadcast multiple programs, should they choose to. Richard <http://www.n7tgb.net/> www.n7tgb.net

(which would save spectrum) So, there may be more content, but station WXYZ will still use the full 6 MHz. If my local area is any indication, they will simply add channels such as full time traffic and WX. (like you need 6 channels of WX forecasts) I've still seen nothing to tie the DTV in with giving PS more spectrum. Joe M.
