Nope. They were assigned new channels in the traditional analog TV bands. Many are in UHF 52-69 which was recently auctioned off to other services. As of Feb, they will have to move down to lower channels and drop their analog transmission. Some (not all) will move the digital signal to where their analog was. Others are going to some other unoccupied channel between 5 and 51 (mostly near the top of that range). -- "It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 million in currency. Both are promises to pay, but one promise fattens the usurers and the other helps the people."-Thomas Edison
