NEWS is (you saw it here first:)

Flagstaff AZ DM44fx gets a 7.25 KW CH2 DTV-B.
Grand Junction CO DM95sc gets an 800 watts CH2 DTV-B T/L.
Bangor Maine FN54pr gets a 2.37 KW CH2 DTVB
North Platte Nebraska DN91pe gets a 6.75 KW CH2 DTVB
Las vegas NV DM28la gets a 27.7 KW CH2 DTVB
Rapid City SD DN81ib gets a 7.1 kw CH2 DTVB
Jackson WYOMING DN43ol gets a 1 kw DTV B CH2.

We wont ever hear these services in digital and we have lost many but not all CH2 ATV indicators on west coast.

Unknown what will happen to Hawaii and Am Samoa, or when the other CH2's will convert over, its their option.

There is apparently a PILOT carrier on the US system at 310 KHZ inside the band allocation see tscm.com.
