I kinda thought that channels 2-6 weren't going to be allowed for DTV 
broadcasting and would be reassigned to something else after analog 
television is turned off.

It will certainly make for an advertizing advantage if WHDH-TV can 
keep calling itself Channel 7, while WBZ, WCVB, and WGBH can't use 
the channel numbers with which they've been identified for so long.
