Here is the list of San Francisco channels as they
appear on your TV.
"ZOMBIE" is broadcast engineer slang for a TV station that has
relinquished it's spectrum in the repack auction
as of this writing on March 13, 2019. A "Dead Zombie" has
already turned off their transmitter,
and may have content sharing on another still living station's
transmitter using the old dead Zombie call letters, such as
KOFY, a dead Zombie who relinquished rf 19 in the spectrum
auction, but the ghost of dead Zombie KOFY lives on hidden in
the transport stream of KCNZ-CD RF 28 shared with KBCW 44.
