A Teleview Recommendation.

Before the Digital Tv transition.

Tv stations transmitted Analog signals.

When Tv stations switched Off the Analog signal and switched On the Digital signal.

Some Tv stations begin transmitting the the new digital signal on a different channel then the old analog signal.

However.

Some Tv stations kept the old analog channel 'number' even though the Tv station may or may not be transmitting on the old analog channel.

So one might say why in the name of good sense would a Tv station do this??

The reason is 'Channel Branding' , the Tv station is known as , as an example , Channel 4 NBC.

This is what people have known the NBC as for , many , many , many , many , many , years , so the Tv station keeps the old number even though the Tv station may or may not be transmitting digital on the old channel.
