That map is quite different from the FCC channel listing I looked at
about a month ago. Although they do have channel 2 showing up in the
Kalamazoo area.
There was a table showing present, or rather pre-change date channels
before they changed the date and the projected channels. That to was
quite different than what I have seen on the FCC page.
They also had a Saginaw station with is currently about 12 miles from
me, *currently* located in Badax which is way over in the thumb.

That used to be a problem but I doubt it is much of a one at present
except maybe in Chicago. The big problem is propagation which could be
a big problem with digital.
