This is how sensible people define, and put to good use, "white spaces."

Ofcom starts auction for local TV stations
Ofcom has published details on the auction of radio spectrum licences
for the Manchester and Cardiff areas.
Each licence is for an 8 MHz frequency channel in the spectrum used for
terrestrial television. These frequencies are being freed-up by the
digital switchover.
Small packages of spectrum are being created between television
transmitters as part of the switchover process. These 'white spaces' are
then suitable for local television services.
The channels could serve around 180,000 homes in the Cardiff area and
more than 500,000 households in Manchester.
The date for receipt of applications for the Manchester licence is 26
January 2009, while the date for receipt of applications for the Cardiff
licence is 18 February 2009.
