Milwaukee was one of the larger cities that had UHF channels. Originally they were really low power. Anyone that wanted decent reception on UHF, had to install a corner reflector type UHF antenna.
It had to be a cost factor, for the manufacturers. IIRC, amplifier tubes made for UHF frequencies were rather pricey.
