How it's used

Refers specifically to television or radio channels, functioning much like the English word channel. It is common to pair this with verbs like 轉 for switching or 搵 for finding a specific station. While it can technically refer to radio frequencies, in daily life, it is almost exclusively used for television stations.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 路線, which refers to a physical path or a bus route. Using 頻道 for a bus route would sound like you are talking about a radio broadcast signal.
