Thats good news, and it kind of makes sense as psip allows the stations to keep their channel branding. I'm sure it's not lost on the station owners that many people are opting to buy UHF only antennas and prefer the smaller size of those antennas;
I look forward to WNYO switching to 49, but I guess I have to wait a few years for that to happen. right now I get crystal clear analog signal on 49, I'll be happier when that's replaced with a nice DTV signal :-)

Interesting little tidbits here... after the DTV
conversion process is complete (ie. analog transmissions
are shut down), here's how the Buffalo station
lineup will look:
WGRZ (2/33) will stay on 33.
WIVB (4/39) will stay on 39.
WKBW (7/38) will stay on 38.
WNED (17/43) will stay on 43 (surprising).
WNLO (23/32) will stay on 32.
WUTV (29/14) will switch to 29.
WNYO (49/34) will switch to 49 (not surprising).
WPXJ (51/53) has opted to NOT make a choice yet
(probably wants a completely new channel - 14
or 17 seem available?).
Doesn't look like we'll have to worry about any
VHF HDTV transmissions.
