You may be interested in the results of the first round of DTV channel elections. Stations were given the opportunity to select a "final" DTV channel, for use after the analog signal is turned off.
WTVM (TV 9 / DT 47) will move to channel 9
WRBL (TV 3 / DT 15) will stay on channel 15
WXTX (TV 54 / DT 49) will stay on channel 49
WLTZ (TV 38 / DT 35) will stay on channel 35
WJSP (TV 28 / DT 23) will move to channel 28
WSWS (TV 66 / DT 31) will wait for the second round to make a decision
Nearby, some interesting decisions:
WFXL Albany (TV 31/DT 12) will stay on channel 12, thereby gaining a VHF channel
WXIA Atlanta (TV 11/DT 10) will stay on channel 10
WGTV Athens (TV 8/DT 12) will move to channel 8
It appears to be split on whether UHF stations will move back to their analog channel, though most will stay on their new channels.
Most (but not all) stations in the upper VHF band (7-13) are keeping channels there (lower power requirements), but nearly all lower VHF channels (2-6) are being vacated (too interference prone and requiring a large antenna).
