Radio station coming into TV

[wooly]

Hopefully someone can help me with this.

I have coax cable (cable tv) splitting into my TV downstairs and to my other TV upstairs. On one certain channel on the upstairs TV, I get a radio station coming through but yet on the TV downstairs it works normal on that same channel.

Any ideas?

Are those two Tv sets exactly the same, brand, model etc? Perhaps its tuner is not well shielded and that radio station's signal is getting into that tuner's IF strip somehow. Which channel, what radio frequency and how far is the transmitting tower?

The TV's are two different brands. I suspect it also is the TV tuner. Channel 15 is the where it's coming through. I beleive the station is one that comes through on cable and I don't think there is a broadcast tower anywhere close by for this radio station.

I will run a different coax and see if that helps. If not, maybe will try connecting a different TV in the same location and see what happens.

Yes, try the coax from downstairs and see if that makes a difference, and then just swap the two TVs and see what happens. Also, see if it makes a difference if the other TV is disconnected and only one is connected. This is one of those troubleshooting things
If nothing helps, perhaps a call to the cable company for a FM filter especially if you don't need cable FM.
