During the experimental era of TV operation, Channel 1 was moved around the lower VHF spectrum repeatedly, with the entire band displaced upward at one point due to an early 40MHz allocation for the FM broadcast band. FM was moved to its current frequencies in 1946. TV Channel 1's last location was 44 Mhz to 50 MHz. Land Mobile Radio and television broadcasters shared the same frequencies until 1948. This shared allocation was eventually found to be unworkable, so the FCC reallocated the Channel 1 frequencies for public safety and land mobile use and assigned TV channels 2-13 exclusively to broadcasters. Aside from the shared frequency issue, this part of the VHF band was (and to a some extent still is) prone to higher levels of RFI than even VHF 2 (System M). Neither Canada nor Mexico were able to get around to the issues of TV Frequency allocation until 1946, so the historical Channel 1 (System M) is exclusively a US allocation artefact."@en }
