I had read, in some really old television installers handbook, that Channel 1 was abandoned mostly due to extremely poor performance; picked up ignition noise from cars and such.
My grandfather explained it to me this way as well. He said it was always an extremely noisy channnel, and after it was decided to not use it for TV, it was reassigned.
