Without getting too technical, all "digital" TV channels in the US (the technical term would be ATSC) are actually transmitted in the same frequency range as old channels 7-50. (There is speculation that the government might want to take back channels 7-13, so most of the digital OTA signals are broadcast today are already in the rage of 14-50.)
The current FCC mandated channel repack removes channels 37-50 from the broadcast TV spectrum. Broadcasters licensed for those channels that are not giving up their licenses will be relocated to broadcast channels 2-36. Many of those that are giving up their licenses will remain on the air by contracting with another licensee to use a sub-channel.
