"WFAA's  analog is on channel 8. A hospital in Dallas was using channel 9, 
then  vacant in the Dallas area, for low-powered medical telemetry 
(heart-rate  monitors and such) - and when WFAA-DT fired up for the first 
time on  channel 9, its signal blew the telemetry signals out of the  water"
 
I remember this incident well. I assisted my wife with an article  on this 
and the preventative measures a hospital could take to prevent this  from 
happening again. The article was entitled; "Warning: HDTV and telemetry on  a 
collision course" in Nursing Management in 1998.  It blew Baylor  University Medical 
Center out of the water and cost them $200,000 to fix the  problem. The 
hospital and WFAA was fortunate that no one was injured during the  outage. Made a 
whopping 75 bucks!
