I was awaiting a nibble at which time I would elaborated ...
" PBS affiliate sold desirable VHF channel 2"
Yeah ... a 'low band' VHF TV channel that is afected by a) power line noise b) some computer operated toys/games and PC peripherals and c) recurring to just occasional 'skip' (depending on the sun spot cycle) from a thousand miles away.
If you've ever received 'broadcast TV' using an outside antenna you'll know what I mean.
I can get good, although sometimes ghosty images with just rabbit ears alone on the local Dallas UHF and VHF Hi-band channels; not so on the Low-VHF channels (2, 4 and 5 locally).
Frankly, in today's noisy RF environment - the low-band channels a lot of time look like crap.
That reminds me - the PBS affiliate threw in a new digital channel into the deal when they sold channel 2 - you getting much interference on your digital channels?
Any way you cut it, Daystar established that a channel in the Dallas market was worth at least $37 million. The folks at KDTN established that they could get less than $20 million.
