UHF no longer exists either.

Are you kidding?
UHF is anything from 300-3000 MHz.
Most TV stations in major cities operate on physical Channels 14-36, 470 to 608 MHz. On what planet is that not UHF? And many of the same problems with shadowing and earth curvature still occur as in the analog snowy picture days. You cannot change the Laws of Physics. UHF stations in hilly and remote areas require two or three fill in translators with 15 kW maximum to serve areas the main facility used to serve. Only in extremely flat coastal city areas does a single transmitter on UHF work out OK.

Re: The Broadcasting Landscape is about to be changed
Does anyone else remember those little boxes from Radio Shack that would map the FM band down to AM so you could receive FM stations on the car's AM radio? Perhaps soon we will see little boxes that that do the opposite--remap AM stations to FM.
