That channel 62 wasn't the one featured in that movie "UHF", no? The movie starring Weird Al Yankovic? Plot of the movie was something about this dump of a station that a major network affiliate wanted to buy and shut down channel 62. Channel 62 does a telethon to sell shares to raise cash to counter offer to 62's owner (who wanted to unload that station). The station janitor (who also did the station's big hit kids' show) was kidnapped by the evil network affiliate.
If this HDTV digital TV thing ever takes off, most every station will be up on UHF anyway.
