One antenna optimized for the many UHF Philadelphia stations can be less expensive and provide better reception. Then he must have a separate antenna for completely different frequencies for that one stupid station.
My experience building antennas is that UHF reception is easy. Antenna can be small and discrete. Adding VHF is more difficult and requires a significantly larger antenna. That violates the OP's requiirements such as not being obvious.
