   Whiile reading I thought about a TV station that was on Channel 5 was causing   
   interference to a Station 100miles away so the FCC had the local station change   
   broadcasting to Channel 3.   
   The station is WAVE-TV.   
   Later WHAS-TV came on the air as Channel 9 but I can't recall why they were   
   told to change to Channel 11.   
   Yep, I remember when there wasn't Television just AM Radio.
