It means they've sold the spectrum under the WPWR license. They can and almost certainly will channel share with another broadcaster.

And by channel share, do you mean they will become a subchannel on a channel we already have?

Do we know this, or is this just the lament of those who drank the HD TV antenna Kool-aide?And of course as we know harder to get VHF channels.

In looking at the LA market, they've certainly packed the DTV stations up at the top end (22-36 are all assigned except for 26 -- still trying to get my head around 27 being assigned to two stations but I guess one faces West and the other East). Makes me wonder what the broadcaster's plan for adding a new modulation scheme might be or if they're going to jockey things around once the second window opens.
Here is another list of those channels changing frequencies. Note it appears to me they have the columns labeled incorrectly.

High VHF is very hit or miss, and it seems to vary by station and, of course, by receive antenna. Low-VHF is pretty universally terrible.

Notice that none of the Lafayette Louisiana stations made any changes yet. KADN Fox 15 made some changes so I assume KLAF-LD 46 the new NBC channel is branded as NBC15.2, which it was called KLAFTV2 but with the changes I look for either the 46 get sold or shutdown completely, I'll edit when I get more answere
Agree. VHF-High considered pretty great real estate (the broadcasters refused to give up VHF-High in the digital transition), and VHF-Low is pretty bad.High VHF is very hit or miss, and it seems to vary by station and, of course, by receive antenna. Low-VHF is pretty universally terrible.

No I was referring the station getting sold due to other circumstances that has nothing to do with the auction.Note that KLAF is not Class A, and thus, not auction eligible.
