F.M. Antenna for Digital R.F. 6 ?

Finding an antenna capable of low band VHF these days
is pretty tough. Yes, there is the Winegard 7000 but it
uses extensions to become a VHF low antenna. It also
is pretty poor with UHF, in general. They state it
" Ships as a high-band VHF antenna but includes added
extensions for low-band VHF for greater versatility."
Those extensions are heavy and cause the elements to
fail in high winds.
Since F.M. radio is analog and television is now digital
for the most part, would an F.M. antenna work well
for RF 6 ??? In my area, RF 6 is 500 watts ERP and
there are several 58 Kw F.M. stations atop the same
mountain. Would the radio stations still cause
issues even though they are analog?
