Television channel frequencies

The following tables show the frequencies assigned to analog broadcast television channels in various regions of the world, along with the ITU letter designator for the transmission system used.

The frequencies shown are for the channel limits and for the analog video and audio carriers.

The channel itself usually occupies 6, 7 or 8 megahertz of bandwidth depending on the television transmission system in use.

See Broadcast television systems for a table of signal characteristics, including bandwidth, by ITU letter designator.

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.
