WWMT CBS is broadcast on real channel 8, which is high-band VHF. It will show on the screen as virtual channel 3.1 with CW network on 3.2. Since the digital switchover, many if not most stations use UHF or high-VHF broadcast frequencies while retaining the 'virtual' channel number that corresponded to the actual broadcast channel from the analog days, presumably so nobody got confused. And so they didn't have to change station letterhead.

Use the 'Real' column in the TVFool report for channel requirements for antenna selection.
