We had two VHF channels before that.
I looked at TV Guide's website under "TV Listings" this afternoon after reading your post, input the zip code for the Milwaukee area, and found all three of the city's network TV stations are on VHF channels, channels four, six and twelve. When were these stations ever on numbers higher than 13?
