Television Channel Frequencies

VHF

North and South America

Channel 1 was finally withdrawn on 14 June 1948 and allocated to fixed and mobile services. In Alaska and Hawaii channels 5 and 6 are allocated to non-broadcast services. An international agreement provides for a unified television bandplan, with 6-MHz channels throughout ITU Region II (the Americas). Not all territories observe this bandplan.
