One of those apparently little known facts: If you look at the U.S. spectrum,
there's a gap between VHF channel 6 and 7. Part of what resides in that gap is
the commercial FM radio band. So if it's intended for VHF TV it'll pick up FM
radio just fine.
I've read what I would consider rumor as to why that occurred historically (as
well as why VHF channel 1 no longer exists) but don't have a good reference to
cite.

Is that TV antenna really intended to pick up radio stations too?
