Do any of you guys know if there had ever been any channel 37 stations? According to Wikipedia it was taken out because of the space program or something of that nature. Could it have used like channels 70 and above?

While it is likely true that US & Canada have not had a 37, there are at least two analog UHF channel 37's operating on this earth, and both clearly say so:
WIN TV in Trinidad and Tobago, and
CDN 37 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic*

Bob1370 said:The Paterson, NJ allocation didn't last long either---in fact ALL the channel 37 allocations originally enacted in 1952 were gone by 1958. The closest channel to 37 ever used in the New York area was Channel 41, which became home of WXTV (one of the city's principal Spanish language stations) in the 1960s.
