Only three stations had regular broadcasts on Channel 1. The rest never came on the air, or were experimental. What is now WBBM-TV 2 is probably the only one that could be regularly viewed in Michigan, although WSBT-TV 22 had a construction permit that was never built. I can only imagine the problems that both of those being on Channel 1 would have caused.

My understanding was that the channel 1's moved to 7 when VHF-High became available.
