[SBE] PSIP Question & Virtual Channel Assignment

[Rich Ranson]

Have an interesting question posed by station management.
 
We are converting our current analog Channel 23 to Digital Channel 6. The current analog Channel 6 is not reverting back to 6, but staying on their digital Channel 50. Since their virtual channel is 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 how will our virtual channel be able to be 6.1? We received our assignment late, after the digital allocations were made and in the virtual channel tables do not see ourselves listed. I am assuming that we would like others, retain 23 as our virtual since the existing analog 6 is using virtual 6 in their PSIP. Any ideas??
 
Thanks much!
