TV Channel Switch To UHF Considered
Washington reports the FCC is studying a possible shift from VHF to UHF for all U.S. TV broadcasting. The move would take about a decade to implement and faces strong public debate. Only 7 of 37 million sets currently receive UHF without adapters, costing 25 to 75 dollars to install. Future sets would be built for UHF, with adapters easing transition. The study cites 70 UHF channels versus 12 VHF channels, easing station availability per reception area.
