Which frequency band is typically used for television broadcasting?

Television broadcasting typically utilizes the Very High Frequency (VHF) band for its transmission. This frequency range generally falls between 30 MHz to 300 MHz and is well-suited for broadcasting television signals over reasonable distances. VHF is characterized by its ability to provide better reception over long ranges, as well as its generally stable signal quality, especially in areas that are open and unobstructed.

While Ultra High Frequency (UHF), which ranges from 300 MHz to 3 GHz, is also used for television broadcasting, particularly for digital TV signals, VHF remains a prominent choice, especially for analog broadcasting before the transition to digital.

Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF) bands do not align with the needs for television broadcasting, as they are primarily utilized for other applications such as AM radio and long-distance shortwave communications, respectively.
