It's the same feed as 6.1 only stretched out, in lower quality, and about 2 seconds behind.
Why?
Are the adding a subchannel in its place soon?

WBRC Fox6 adds SD feed on 6.2
- Thread starter Chad-Stevens
- Start date
Channel 3 in Pensacola, FL did the exact same thing a few years ago, and I never quite understood it either. Once, however, it came in handy when there were dropouts on the main channel, and I was able to flip over to 3.2, which, for whatever reason, was not having the issue. Also, it seems like I recall the picture would be "full screen" on 3.2 whenever 3.1 was showing "wide-screen" programming. Overall, though, I really didn't see the point. They later dropped it, only to return (a year or so?) later with The Country Network on 3.2.
Doesn't adding a secondary channel of any kind prevent you from showing "Full HD?" Don't you need the full spectrum to have true "Full HD?" Unless a station is getting ready to add another channel, I can’t understand the point of tying up their bandwidth just to show a copy of the main channel, although I’m sure there’s a reason.

It seems logical that the subchannel would take away bits from the main HD feed, but it's possible they've been running the main and only HD feed at reduced bitrate this whole time and what you've seen is no different than it is now with an actual channel on 6.2.
I'm not saying that's the case, but that it's possible. I kvetched about a station somewhere (might've been WEAR) adding a subchannel, when someone with the ability to monitor the bitrate of the channels pointed out that the main HD feed was running at a reduced rate with no other subchannels. So I guess it is possible.
