According to Cecil Adams at the Straight Dope website:
In the 1940's there was a channel one, however the Channel One band (44 to 50 MHz) was reassigned by the FCC for use by people with mobile radios.
Hope this helps.

There IS - it`s called BBC1 .
It was the FIRST TV channel transmitted in the UK and is allocated the Channel 1 position - hence it IS Channel ONE

There is - it's called BBC1. They don't actually have "Channels" until Channel 4 & Channel Five. They have BBC1, BBC2, as the BBC channels, & ITV, Channel 4 & Channel Five.

Good question. We actually have a Channel 1, but it's local access (only for our town).

There is. It comes before Channel 2. They're better known as BBC1 and BBC2.

maybe because the cable companies have issues on which station gets the first channel, and no one could resolve the problem. lol. or maybe there is no channel 1.

The frequency is to close to the FM band. It would have caused interference when we used antenna to get channels.
