Channel 82
Channel 82 was removed from television use in 1983. The second-highest frequency to have been used for NTSC-M terrestrial TV broadcasting, it was formerly used by a handful of television stations in North America which broadcast on 878-884 MHz. In the United States, channels 70-83 served primarily as a "translator band" for repeater transmitters filling gaps in coverage for existing stations:
- KG2XEL Emporium, Pennsylvania, the first experimental 10-watt signal on this channel, rebroadcast WJAC-TV Johnstown in order to circumvent hills which posed local obstacles to the main WJAC signal.
- KATU rebroadcaster K82AT Tillamook, Oregon, formerly on this channel, has moved to K43EJ channel 43.
- KBJR rebroadcaster K82AJ International Falls, Minnesota moved to K60BT channel 60.
- KRQE rebroadcasters K82AC Romeo, Colorado and K82AR Durango, Colorado were moved to K45GD channel 45 and K31FV channel 31.
- KFOR-TV rebroadcaster K82BB Seiling, Oklahoma has been moved to K53CI channel 53.
- KESQ-TV rebroadcaster K82BQ Hemet, California was used in the 1980s.
