17-4 what's happening?

A post on Boston-Manchester tv board
by kbirdusa says

"As of this morning, WWOO is showing (a zoomed-in version of) Antenna TV on 17.1 (it’s usually on 17.4). Newsnet has gone from 17.3 to 17.2. And there’s no signal on 17.3 and 17.4. Catchy Comedy and Movies are nowhere to be seen. I’m guessing it’s a glitch rather than something deliberate. But with that station, who knows?"
 
Isn’t the whole channel supposed to be going away soon to experiment with some new ATSC 3.0 mobile data service?

Yes, WWOO-LD has been approved by the FCC to convert to experimental ATSC 3.0 / wireless 5G broadcasting.

Catchy Comedy is moving soon to the newly added, currently blank, subchannel 4.5 on WBZ.
Movies! is moving soon to WSBK 38.5, replacing StartTV which is also seen on WBZ 4.2
AntennaTV is moving to the sister station of WWOO-LD - WVCC-LD, joining NewsNet there.

However WVCC-LD went off the air about 2 weeks ago during a severe thunderstorm and has not been back since, but since they were making some other changes at the station, it might be just a coincidence.
