Whiile reading I thought about a TV station that was on Channel 5 was causing
interference to a Station 100miles away so the FCC had the local station change
broadcasting to Channel 3.
The station is WAVE-TV.
Later WHAS-TV came on the air as Channel 9 but I can't recall why they were
told to change to Channel 11.
Yep, I remember when there wasn't Television just AM Radio.
