They didn't have to "justify the bandwidth". Every licensed analog
transmission requires that several other channels (especially on UHF)
be excluded from use in that local area. The Bandwidth was there
for decades. (Analog TV is horribly easy to screw up. An inband signal
40-60 dB lower can cause interference. DTV isn't, we hope).

The real reason for this shift in technology is that, when they all go
to all DTV, they get to auction off the spectrum for all these unusable
channels and make zillions of dollars. They (congress and the budget
spinners) think...

There was some campaign that, by giving each station two channels during
the transition, this was some gross giveaway. Somebody had their head
up their ass, or they just didn't care if their spin didn't make sense.
