Don't think it was ever assigned simply based upon the fact that it was #1 as I
recall.

Wasn't it used as a police frequency?

OK, it was 48 to 54 MHz, and 50-54 was given to hams as 6 meter band.

Now my thinking gets hazy, but wasn't the OLD FM band 42-48 MHz? If it was,
then the FCC (or was it FRC in those days?) couldn't put any FM stations too
close to TV-1, the same way that today, 88.1 88.3 and 88.5 (and of course
87.9) are not grantable if there's a Channel 6 nearby (82-88 MHz).

You may have something there. I think I remember reading something like
that?

The original TV band plan did in fact list CH1 from 48~54MHz,
but, becaue of two reasons, 1 the FM BCB band was already in place, and
2) becaue of likely in band interfernece it was dropped.
I think the NTSC group meetings are archived at Columbia University,
and it is spelled out in boring detail.

What happened to TV Channel one ??

I remember hearing an old story about how there was a channel 1 at one time,
but the frequency interfered with human brain function, and every time there
was a channel 1 broadcast it caused all the people within a certain radius
of the transmitter to get up and flush their toilets at once, or something
ridiculous like that.

I win, right?
