Information about USA and Canadian channel numbering in the digital era

=An ATSC channel has two part channel number:		Channel: 5-1
— Major channel number	For example:		Minor channel number
— Minor channel number	Major channel number

=In most situations the major channel number is same for both analog and digital channels (It is equal to the NTSC channel number for existing broadcasters.)

=A minor channel number of zero is used for a broadcaster’s analog channel.

Channel Numbering Example

=Original NTSC Channels for Des Moines (via antenna):

—5, 8, 11, 13, 17

=Possible NTSC + ATSC Channels for Des Moines (via antenna):

—5-0, 8-0, 11-0, 13-0, 17-0 (channel numbers for existing analog channels)

—5-1, 5-2, 8-1, 8-2, 8-3,8-4, 13-1 (channel numbers for digital channels)

In Canada, ATSC digital reception areas via antenna are limited. However digital coverage via cable or satellite is widespread (digital cable or satellite receiver required).
