Television broadcasts on a variety of different frequencies depending on the channel. Each channel occupies an approximately 6 MHz wide band of frequencies.

In the US, channel 2 (there is no channel 1) starts at 54 MHz. Channels 3 and 4 follow at 6 MHz intervals (ending at 72 MHz for the top end of channel 4), then there's a gap before channels 5 and 6 in the 76-88 MHz range. There's then a much bigger gap (containing, among other things, FM radio and commercial aviation radio) before channels 7-13 at 174-216 MHz. There's then an even bigger gap before the UHF frequencies (channels 13-51) at 740-698 MHz.

The former TV channels 52-83 (698-896 MHz) have been reassigned to other purposes such as cell phones and commercial two-way radio.
