Channel 5 could have had full national coverage with out all the
messing about we endured later. And, in some places there would have
been space for a local channel.

Are you telling me that anyone would have missed Channel 5 had we not had
it? I agree that they way it was introduced was a politically-inspired
mess, but the best option would have simply been never to have had it at
all. The other uses to which the VHF spectrum released by the end of the
405-line service have been of far greater value to the public than
Channel 5 could have ever been. As for local TV, have you seen it in
those countries that have it?

I never said I wanted either.
