Thank google for the answer

In 1945, the FCC decided to move the 42-50 Mcs Original FM Radio Band to 88-106 Mcs  (later 88-108 MHz).

Because FM broadcasting would be vacating 42-50 Mcs, TV Channel 1 was moved down to 44-50 Mcs in the old FM band.  The TV & FM Radio Allocations which went into effect on February 25, 1946 (mybd), were as follows:
.

    New FM radio band:  88-106 Mcs

    Channel 1  44 - 50 Mcs
    Channel 2  54-60 Mcs
    Channel 3  60-66 Mcs
    Channel 4  66-72 Mcs
    Channel 5  76-82 Mcs
    Channel 6  82-88 Mcs
    Channels 7-13 as presently assigned

Although several television stations were scheduled to move to to the new Channel 1, no TV stations ever broadcast on 44 - 50 Mcs. 

It could not be used immediately because it was necessary for all existing FM stations to move out of the 42-50 Mcs spectrum to the 88-106 Mcs FM Band. 

When all the FM stations finally did move, the FCC decided to re-allocate 44 - 50 Mcs to other services.   Thus, Channel 1 disappeared.

There was no renumbering of the remaining channels.

I remember this lame shit we had in middle school called Channel 1.  We'd watch it when we first got to school, it was like a 10 minute news program produced by kids that was broadcast nationwide.  Anybody else have that?  Its where Anderson Cooper got his start.

My high school broadcasted our own school news too. It wasn't as lame as yours from the sounds of it. We had this punk rock kid doing the lead anchoring and he had to have been one of the funniest guys I've ever met. I was on the camera crew for him and at times, it was hard to keep the camera sitll we were laughing so much. He said a couple things about the girls hockey and boys wrestling teams that got the broadcast suspended for a couple weeks.
