Remember, that while digital stations in your area may be transmitting on UHF frequencies that you can "tune" with the UHF tuner in your set, you will see nothing more than increased "snow" when you tune these channels. An analog (NTSC) TV by itself cannot decode the Digital (ATSC) data that is being transmitted.

For Kalamazoo, the FCC lists two analog stations (WUHO Ch 36 and WOKZ Ch 50) that your UHF set might be able to receive off the air, without a digital converter box:
