could not find a date for when that's happening...
The changes will happen very slowly over the next 3 to 3-1/2 years. New antennas have to be mounted on all the transmitter towers that are changing channels. There aren't many companies that do antenna tower work; they will be very busy. You will need to do a channel scan often to keep up with the changes.

A total of 987 TV stations will be moved in the upcoming 39-month repack, and 175 broadcasters who sold spectrum in the auction will split the $10 billion offered up for it by wireless providers.

“The first group of stations to move channels is scheduled for Nov. 30, 2018,” the release said. Those stations now have 18 months to move.
