The FCC does Not , like a Super Being , hand out channel assingments and then make the Tv stations live with it.
The Tv stations choose a channel , and then are supposed to play nice.
To make a point , I know that there is at least one Tv station here in the USA that can not get along with any other Tv stations and will not give an inch on their channel assignment and has law suites on other Tv stations.
And in this area of the USA it looks like there is more then one Tv station playing hard ball.

Most likely they are the fault of the FCC. Read the portion about Short Spaced Stations.

They've done it in the past for FM stations which has led to interference on the FM band and I suspect it has also been done with TV especially now that we can't use the channels above 51. More channels being shoe horned into a smaller spectrum increases the risk of potential interference on the TV bands.
