Channels 52 through 69 will be removed from television service in the United States when the transition to digital television broadcasting is complete. Some of this spectrum has already been auctioned for use in other services, and may be used on a non-interference basis by those licensees. Channels 14 through 19 are used for two-way radio in major cities, again on a non-interference basis. Channels 70 through 83 were removed from the bandplan to make way for cellular telephone service; these channels were only used in the U.S. for translatorss, some of which may continue in operation if their frequencies are not in use for cellular. Channel 37 is allocated to radio astronomy and may not be used by any broadcast station.
