Would be nice to see them bring Antenna TV to town.

Won't happen. Whatever they use their subchannel for will be produced in-house. They're not going to benefit a direct competitor, Tribune (which owns Antenna and uses its own stations to compete against CBS in markets such as NYC, LA and Chicago.)

Chicago, near north side.
Forty-Four Digital, 3 Analog, 1 of which is an 88.7 FrankenFM.
There about 4 or 5 duplicate signals in the above.
I'm using a 6 foot hunk of cheap coax to which I have clipped together two sections of
alligatior clip test leads, which attaches to an elaborate lead gridwork of a nearby window.
I have a phase-tuneable attic antenna, but it's VHF-only proportioned, so that's unused these days.
Works pretty good, but ignition pulse noise from vehicles going down the street often knock out
decode or provide humorous distorted phantasms out of normal faces and scenes.
Not all vehicles, just the ones with noisy ignitions, this may be 10-20 % as I also note listening to an
AM radio in my own car. I hear certain nearby vehicles spewing control data noise or ignition noise.
They sound very different from each other.

You're correct about the Tucson stations - depending on where you are in the Phoenix area, you can pick up one or more from Tucson occasionally. I get KUAT at least once a night and sometimes KTTU, but in Scottsdale, near the airpark, a good antenna would net you KVOA, KUAT, KMSB, KOLD, KTTU and KUVE - in other words, all the UHF stations broadcasting from Mt. Bigelow.
For the record, here is what Tucson offers: (29 subchannels)
KVOA 4.x (23) - .1 NBC
K04QP-D 4.x - .1 KVOA 4.1
KUAT 6.x (30) - .1 PBS / .2 V-Me / .3 Ready TV
KGUN 9.x - .1 ABC / .2 Mexicanal / .3 Live Well
K16EO-D 9.x (16) - .1 KGUN 9.1 / .2 KGUN 9.2 / .3 KGUN 9.3
KMSB 11.x (25) - .1 Fox / .2 ThisTV
KOLD-TV 13.x (32) - .1 CBS / .2 MeTV
KOLD-TV 13.x - .1 KOLD 13.1 / .2 KOLD 13.2
KTTU 18.x (19) - .1 My Network TV / .2 Estrella TV
K21CX 21.x - .1 JTV
KUAS 27.x (28) - .1 KUAT 6.1 / .2 KUAT Kids / .3 World
KFTU-CD 34.x (18) - .1 KFTU-DT 3.1 (Telefutura) / .2 KUVE-DT 46.2
KHRR 40.x - .1 Telemundo / .2 Exitos TV / .3 Canal SOI
KUVE-DT 46.x - .1 Univision / .2 KFTU-CD
Why all of the duplication? Most transmitters are on Mt. Bigelow, which sits lower than Mt. Lemmon and Pusch Ridge, so signals don't reach NW metro area communities like Oro Valley, Marana, Casas Adobes and Cortaro, so the LP stations broadcast from either Tower Peak or Tumamoc Hill to provide infill to the unreached areas.
