Help! What is wrong with my Television?

[Hamlette]

Beyond the content factor. About a month ago, one channel started getting the radio station owned by the same company as sound for the television station. Now, another station (one of our PBS stations) has done the same thing. Picture is fine but the sound is from the radio station! And my other PBS station gets sound about half the time.

The cable works fine in the other room. So it must be the TV. Which does not APPEAR to have a radio receptor.

Anyone heard of this? Know how to fix it?

1. turn off sap in the sound configuration or whatever

2. SAP (Secondary Audio Channel)

Many stations transmit a second audio channel, either in a second language, or maybe something like NPR or other public service.

Locally, a radio reading service for the blind that broadcasts on "closed circuit" also is carried on the PBS station.

Check your "set-up" menu on your TV and you can set it back to the primary audio channel.

(This happened in the first season of FRIENDS when Ross's monkey set the TV on the SAP channel so every program was in Spanish... took them the whole episode to figure it out. Awwww...)

4. Sounds like you've got a signal leak.

Any place the signal can leak out, another signal can sneak in. You didn't mention what kind of radio station it is but it's probably an FM station.
Check to see if the shield on the coax cable is damaged. If you have push-on connectors on any of the jumpers, replace the with screw-ons. There is a reason they are made that way.
You can try to jiggle the push-ons around. It could help. But get them replaced.

Never mind.
