Is there a replacement in the works for 55.4, or will the space be given over to add bandwidth to 55.1 when it eventually gets the HD switch permanently flipped?

[WPXE ION]

No current plans that I have heard of for that channel so extra bandwidth for the HD. The Ion stations currently running Worship with HD said the Worship looked bad because the bandwidth was choked down to less than 1Mbps.

Can't say I'm terribly surprised. Worship was really a legacy hold over from PAX, which is more or less dead and buried.

You may need to do a rescan or update to eliminate 55.4 from your receiver.
