Hey, man. What a great question, seriously. Maybe the higher the number, the younger the channel in age? like channel 7 was created before channel 20 maybe? Just a guess, this is going on my watch list :)

They originally named them after the frequency I think they went from 52 to 980mgh.
Above that was uhf.
FM channels went from 88 to 108 I believe. They do have lower than 52 but I believe this was for return channels.
The new digital TV may have changed a lot of this.
Thirty years ago I could have told you a lot more .
I hope this helps.
