Information About

North American Cable Television Frequencies




  • Channels T-7 through T-14 are sub-band channels and are not used for normal television channel distribution. These channels are used for sending video back to the Cable Television Headend , such as by Public-access Television stations on a cable tv system. They are also used by Cable Modem s for sending upstream data to the headend's CMTS .


  • Cable channels 2 through 13 operate on the same frequencies as broadcast television (the VHF band).


  • Channels 100 to 125 can be used by analog cable systems, but frequency allocation is often inconsistent and not all televisions and VCRs can pick them up.


  • Digital cable channels are often numbered starting at 100 or 200, but these are virtual channel numbers and do not correspond to particular frequencies.
