Same here, where two OTA networks are 720p59.94 (ABC and FOX). Supposedly the reason was sports. But, that point is moot now, since all of the main cameras that cover sports are high-speed for great slo-mo. That means the slo-mo plays out as if it were 1080p.
IMHO, 720 is HD-lite. Especially now that 4K exists (not OTA, yet) and 8K is around the corner. I've always considered 720 to be inferior HD.
