[edit] UHF status trivial?

I disagree with that assessment. Most Big Three television stations in large markets are not UHF, and the reason that it is UHF (because the previous NBC affiliate chose to pick another network) is noteworthy. See this article from San Diego magazine: For years, the station {KNSD) blamed the problem on its dial position-UHF Channel 39 was out of the traditional 2-to-13 VHF range. [1] In addition, the same facts are in the WVIT and WNCN articles. Thus, the paragraph was readded.

[edit] Re: UHF status trivial?

At this point, with the proliferation of cable and satellite, and the advent of digital television, such a reference is trivial. Heck, it was trivial from the get-go. Last time I checked, San Diego County is one of the most heavily cabled areas in the country (an average of four out of five households), so how many people are watching KNSD on over-the-air channel 39 as opposed to cable channel 7? Twenty to 25 percent, while still a significant figure, isn't enough of a number to make this a big deal. Twenty years ago, this would have been a big deal, but it just isn't anymore.

Let's put this tidbit aside for a future version of "TV Station Trivial Pursuit". Rollosmokes 06:05, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


Except that it was cited in a major magazine article as being relevant to the station's history (see above). Obviously, it is a verifiable fact, and I have other citations about how the station placement affected the station in terms of gaining advertising revenue and ratings. Therefore, it's still relevant, but I will wait a few days for some other consensus before putting it back in with the noted citations. Calwatch 07:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm 100 percent in agreement with you on waiting for a consensus. Rollosmokes 19:34, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
