Well DUH, isn’t that what the spectrum afforded in the DTV technical standards was meant to accomplish? USEFUL other program material intended for viewers!! Good decision, WCAU! Let’s see more of this done by other stations. I recall a few years ago WISH Indianapolis aired all four regional CBS feeds during March Madness on their then-companion DTV channel.
