- Analog TV audio channels could be monitored in wideband FM (WFM) mode. Each audio channel used 100 kHz bandwidth.
- It is not possible to monitor digital TV audio with an FM receiver.
- The video and audio carrier frequencies listed are for NTSC analog TV and are not applicable to ATSC digital TV (DTV or HDTV).
- Some analog TV stations were offset + or - 10 kHz (.01 MHz) from the standard frequencies to reduce co-channel interference.
- Some DTV stations are offset slightly to reduce co-channel interference.
- The 8-VSB modulation used in ATSC (DTV) has a pilot carrier approximately 310 KHz above the lower band edge. This can be heard on an AM or FM receiver.
