Adjacent channels are actually the new norm with digital & seen in most every market.
Quoted from HDTV primer;
"Before 1998, the FCC would never allow stations in the same city to occupy adjacent channels. (There were exceptions for channels 4-5, 6-7, and 13-14 because gaps exist between those channel pairs.) But due to improved receiver technology, the FCC now allows any channel assignment.
When adjacent channel stations broadcast from the same tower or adjacent towers they must have an agreement that neither will exceed 10 times the other’s power."
