WTVM, Columbus, Georgia's ABC affiliate, has moved off their RF 47 assignment and onto RF channel 11. This move bucks the trend of full power stations abandoning their VHF assignments for the UHF band. The VHF band has proved problematic for digital television reception, with VHF-high channels suffering from electrical noise and lightning-related dropouts, and VHF-low being all but impossible to use in most markets.
Edit: Looks like they actually switched in June 2009 and the license to cover just came through. Wish someone had told me! Guess no one watches OTA in Columbus.
