87.5 FM is the first radio broadcast frequency that can be used on the FM band 87.5-108 or VHF Band 2. The use of 87.5 FM as the main carrier frequency of a legal radio station itself is rare in most countries as it transmits signals slightly out of band down to roughly 87.3 and possibly as low as 87.2 close to the transmitter.

For example, the United Kingdom's radio stations broadcasts on 87.5 FM, which are likely to be pirate radio stations as there are no known licences that are allocated to 87.5 FM in the UK. There are a few licenses for 87.6 FM, though most transmit on 87.7 FM and upwards.
