TV band

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 analogue video and audio carriers. The channel itself occupies several megahertz of bandwidth. For example, North American channel 1 occupies the spectrum from 44 to 50 MHz. See Broadcast television systems for a table of signal characteristics, including bandwidth, by ITU letter designator.

VHF

Americas (most countries), South Korea, Taiwan, Burma (Myanmar) and the Philippines

During World War II, the frequencies originally assigned as channels 13 to 18 were appropriated by the U.S. military, which still uses them to this day. It was also decided to move the allocation for FM radio from the 42-50 MHz band to a larger 88-106 MHz band (later extended to the current 88-108 MHz FM band). This required a reassignment of the VHF channels to the plan currently in use.

North America, South America, Caribbean, South Korea, Taiwan, Burma (Myanmar) the Philippines – assignments since February 25, 1946

* System M 525 lines (most countries in the Americas and Caribbean, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines)
* System N 625 lines (used in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay)

* FM channel 200, 87.9 MHz, overlaps TV 6. This is used only by K200AA. Channel 6A is only used in South Korea and the Philippines.
* TV 6 analog audio can be heard on FM 87.75 on most broadcast radio receivers as well as on a European TV tuned to channel 4A or channel C, but at lower volume than wideband FM broadcast stations, because of the lower deviation.
* Channel 1 audio is the same as European Channel 2 audio and the video is the same as European Channel 2A. Channel 2 video is the same as European Channel 3 video.

Japan

* The frequency spacing for each channel is 6 MHz as the countries above, except between channels 7 and 8 (which overlap).
* Channels 1 through 3 are reallocated for the expansion of the FM band.

United Kingdom and most British Territories

Republic of Ireland

* Channel A was never used terrestrially. The only System I Band I transmitter on Channel B was RTÉ One from the Maghera, Co. Clare transmitter during 1963–1999. Channel A was initially intended for use at Maghera but Channel B was used instead because of the risk of interference to (overspill) reception of BBC
