From an announcement “Digital Divide Information Release”, by MED, 24 December 2009.

"The present analogue licences in the UHF band will cease at Digital Switch Over (DSO), and any required digital television licences will be provided in the VHF bands thereafter. Discussions will be held with amateurs to confirm the preferred approach to allowing television use in the 54 – 68 MHz band.

The following VHF band allocations will also come into effect after DSO:

* 50 – 51 MHz: radio amateur non-television use on an exclusive basis
* 51 – 54 MHz: radio amateur non-television use on a shared basis."

This is not the preferred outcome we have pitched for. Having our ATV allocation shifted to VHF was not an option we preferred.
