Television channel frequencies

From Freepedia

The following tables show the frequencies assigned to broadcast television channels in various regions of the world, along with the ITU letter designator for the system used. The frequencies shown are for the video and audio carriers. The channel itself occcupies several megaherz of bandwidth. For example, North American channel 2 occupies the spectrum from 54 to 60 MHz. See Broadcast television system for a table of signal characteristics, including bandwidth, by ITU letter designator.

UHF

North and South America

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.

Note: UHF channels 70 through 83 have been reallocated to land mobile radio (public safety and trunked radio) and cellular telephones. Channels 52 through 69 in the United States are in the process of being cleared in advance of a similar reallocation. Channel 37 is reserved for astronomy in the United States and Canada.
