The Of Privately Owned and Operated - Off-Campus Housing - BaylorVHF Early development Local television stations in the United States were focused on the VHF dial (channels 213) in the early days of the market. However, it soon emerged that the twelve channels readily available on the VHF dial would not suffice to fulfill the needs of the growing industry. ![]() ![]() As a reward for business to operate UHF stations, the FCC relaxed the ownership limit for an offered entity from 5 to seven stations, offered that no more than 5 were on the VHF dial.
