Channel 1 (North American TV)
In North American broadcast television frequencies, channel 1 is a former broadcast (over-the-air) television channel. During the experimental era of TV operation Channel 1 moved around the lower VHF spectrum, swapping places with an early allocation for the FM broadcast band. Shared use between land mobile and television broadcasters was eventually found to be unworkable in this range, so in 1948 the FCC reallocated the channel's frequency range for public safety and land mobile use.

“For, rightly, every man is a channel through which heaven floweth, and, whilst I fancied I was criticising him, I was censuring or rather terminating my own soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I repeat that in this sense the most splendid court in Christendom is provincial, having authority to consult about Transalpine interests only, and not the affairs of Rome. A prætor or proconsul would suffice to settle the questions which absorb the attention of the English Parliament and the American Congress.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
