I was told the analog towers are on top and the digitals are on the
bottom and once analog goes away, they will move the digital up the
tower further and thus provide a stronger signal. I don't think there
is any interference between analog and digital since they run on
different wavelengths. I could be wrong, I'm not a scientist. :)
