Asian television frequencies

Asian television frequencies refer to the allocation and standardization of radio frequency bands used for television broadcasting across countries in Asia. These frequencies are regulated by regional authorities and international agreements to ensure compatibility and prevent interference between broadcasting systems. Various Asian nations employ different transmission standards, such as PAL, SECAM, and increasingly digital systems like DVB-T or ISDB.
