Channel 1 coverage could've been interesting if the Frequently Confused Commission had allowed 100KW visual 20KW aural at 1000' HAAT as they did so many low-band VHF TV's!

Also, the one station confirmed as operating on channel 1 never used the figure "1" in any of the material I've seen. They always put it as "Channel One".

Regarding Channel 1, there was talk at one time post-WWII to move TV to VHF-Hi and above. Channel 7 would've been the "new" channel 1. ABC-TV was supposedly so confident of that happening, that was supposedly why all their CP's were for channel 7! At least according to an ABC old timer I had talked with...
