Exactly how are the stations sharing a channel...  You just indicated that they
were on different channels?

Or are the two "channels" you're using mapped to the same frequency?

Or is it a DVB stream where two stations share an MPEG transport stream, each of
them getting a different subchannel?  (For example, in New York City, UPN 9 WWOR
piggybacks a 480i subchannel on FOX 5 WNYW's ATSC transmission.)
