Some analog cable systems start (or used to start) at Cable Channel 1.

Three analog frequency plans are approved by the FCC for use by the
cable TV industry:

IRC Incrementally-related carriers
HRC Harmonically-related carriers
STD Standard

The IRC and HRC plans include Cable Channel 1. Details at

IRC and HRC are rarely used today; however, many so-called "cable
ready" television sets still include some means to receive them:
either an obscure little switch or an option in the setup menu.
