Is the problem with VHF in a big city like New York why the stations used to have UHF translators.
In old NYC TV Guides from the 1970s, they used to list the stations as:
[2]-[53] WCBS-TV (CBS) New York City
[4]-[57] WNBC-TV (NBC) New York City
[5]-[64] WNEW-TV (Ind.) New York City
[7]-[66] WABC-TV (ABC) New York City
[9]-[71] WOR-TV (Ind.) New York City
[11]-[73] WPIX-TV (Ind.) New York City
[13]-[75] WNET (PBS) New York City
New York City stations can also be received on the
UHF channels listed above next to their regular
channel numbers.
