December 3 TV rescan

[Jim Hall]

The Wikipedia entry for WFXZ says that they sold their spectrum for $63 million, reached a channel-sharing arrangement with WGBH, and donated the license for WFXZ to WGBH. 

I didn't realize that a Class A station could be worth $63 million, or that a commercial station could lease a sub-channel of a non-commercial station, and why would WGBH want the license to a former commercial station (tax write-off for the donation?)

I came across a message on WFXZ channel 24 telling viewers they’d have to rescan their TVs on December 3 if they want to continue to watch the over-the-air broadcast. Any idea what is happening then?
