In the United States FM Modulated Broadcast Radio runs from 88 MHz to 108 MHz. This is unofficially known as the 3-Meter band, although usage of the designation is rejected by HAM Radio operators. In other countries such as Japan the 3-Meter FM broadcast band extends lower, from 76 MHz to 108 MHz.
The United States FCC has considered expanding FM broadcast radio down to 76 Mhz. Frequencies 76–88 MHz were formerly used by NTSC Analog Television channels 5 and 6. The allocation is no longer used as the frequencies are unsuitable for the new digital television system.
The country of Brazil in South America is another country planning to expand FM broadcast radio down to 76 MHz after their own conversion to digital television is complete.
