The channel is the range of frequencies allocated to that broadcast
station. NTSC (analog TV) and ATSC (digital TV) still use the same
channels. Most of the new DTV channels are UHF, and the broadcasters
are allowed to continue to use the older analog channels (the best
ones being VHF) during the transition. Once the FCC tells them to shut
off the analog broadcasts, the original channels will be put up for
auction.
