There is only one low-VHF station in the area, a VHF channel 5 that is 60 miles away that's 1) likely to buried in the ambient noise floor and 2) is a repeat of WGVU out of Grand Rapids which is readily receivable on VHF 11.
No stations in this market will be moving to low-VHF as part of the repack. Low-VHF capability won't be needed unless there is a need for FM radio. Skipping the low-VHF elements when possible makes for an antenna that's a lot narrower, easier to install, and is less likely to withstand storm and large bird damage.
