Public bug reported: For example on my system with a wifi device named wlp2s0, run the following command which should just print out the three requested fields:
$ nmcli -t -f SSID,CHAN,FREQ d wifi list ifname wlp2s0 wlp2s0 Canonical:1:2412 MHz Canonical:6:2437 MHz Canonical:11:2462 MHz Canonical:40:5200 MHz Canonical:36:5180 MHz ... The first line of output is the interface name and should not be included.
