Band II

Band II is primarily used worldwide for FM radio broadcasting.^[1]

Usage in Russia and in other former members of OIRT#edit

In the former Soviet Union and other countries-members of OIRT, frequencies from 76 MHz to 100 MHz were designated for broadcast television usage.^[2] Considering 8 MHz channel bandwidth used by the Russian analog television system (System D), the following television channels had been defined:

Broadcast television channels 1 and 2 are assigned to VHF I band, channels 6 to 12 are assigned to VHF III band.

Starting from the early 1990s, frequencies previously allotted to television channels 4 and 5 have been re-allocated for FM radio, thereby harmonizing it with the Western allocation for FM radio service.

Other countries#edit

Both Japan, System J and Australia, System B have also had analog TV channels situated within Band II.
