See FCC Spectrum chart URL:

Since it is a VHF range, generally it is line of sight.
Coupla of services come to mind

1. Amateur band -- 50 to 54 Mhz sometimes Hams experience Sporadic E
propagation for long range skip contacts. But most often it is line of sight
either simplex or repeaters. Modes for Hams are CW, SSB, AM, FM, Data

Channel 2 of the USA TV band is here -- 54- 60 MHz

Since it is a VHF band, can't imagine any "broadcasting" there except
Channel 2 TV
Other services here - cordless phones around 43 to 49 Mhz, Fast food Freq,
