How to add channels that also exist as subchannels elsewhere? edit

There are a couple of things that are not listed here because of the complicated relationship between WGBH and WGBX, both owned by the WGBH Educational Foundation. WGBH-TV (RF channel 5) carries both WGBH-HD (2.1) and WGBX-HD (44.1), along with a CSA with WFXZ-CD for Biz TV (24.1). WGBX-TV (RF channel 32) carries WGBH-SD (2.2) and WGBX-SD (44.2), as well as PBS Create (44.3), PBS Kids (44.4), and three more channels via a CSA with WBTS-CD: NBC Boston (15.1), Cozi (15.2), and NBC LX (15.3).

I'm not sure how to add the cross-carriage of WGBH and WGBX on each other's channels within the format of this article. That happened in part because WGBH moved to the low VHF band as a result of giving up its UHF channel in the reverse spectrum auction; they ended up on RF channel 5 rather than their historic channel 2 because the latter is now occupied by a station in Providence RI. Some viewers are not set up to receive digital TV on the VHF band, so the foundation chose to put SD versions of both of their primary channels on the UHF signal on WGBX-TV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdulcey (talk • contribs) 20:45, 7 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
