  The Ultimate FM broadcasting - American History Information Guide and Reference
FM radio is a broadcast technology invented by Edwin Howard Armstrong that uses frequency modulation to provide high-fidelity broadcast radio sound.
FM radio is distributed primarily through broadcast reception of FM radio signals, although it is also possible to distribute FM signals via cable FM, either by using an adapter to plug analogue cable wires directly into an FM receiver, or through the use of television channel allocations on a digital cable service.
This backwards compatibility was important, as when the FM stereo system was introduced in the U.S. in the 1960s, mono FM transmissions had been in service since the 1940s, and there was a large installed base of mono receivers that needed to be able to receive stereo broadcasts without any modification.

  Cable radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cable radio or cable FM is a complementary concept to that of cable television, bringing radio transmissions into homes and businesses via coaxial cable.
It is generally used as cable TV was in its early days when it was "community antenna television", to enhance the quality of signals that are difficult to receive in an area.
The use of cable radio varies from area to area — some cable TV systems don't include it at all, and others only have something approaching it on digital cable systems.

 Cooperative TV-FM cable splitter-ground module and housing therefor - Patent 4370516
Cable installations associated with the cable television industry are presently being made in a non-uniform and non-standardized manner substantially unlike telephone installations which have become standardized as to fittings and manner of installation.
Further, the cable television industry has grown up with the practice of using a substantial number of components and substantial number of local installations of components which could be reduced to a standardized single installation and employment of a single set of components at one location.
The present invention is aimed at providing a coaxial TV-FM signal cable splitter-ground module support and housing apparatus intended to encourage and establish a standard type of signal splitting and local electrical grounding installation practice irrespective of the number and type of signal receivers, i.e., TV or FM, single output port or multiple output port.

FM is a wireless communication technology which is commonly used in the classroom to overcome the adverse effects of distance and competing noise in communication situations.
Using an FM system makes communication in difficult listening situations easier because regardless of the distance between speaker and listener, the signal is delivered directly to the FM receiver at a constant loudness level.
FM adaptor cables are specific to the particular FM system and sound processor your student is using.

 DRS: Ruling 90-51 Cable TV / Gross Receipts / Utility Exemption - Manufacturing
Cable FM service provides audio broadcasts to certain cable television subscribers for a separate charge.
Accordingly, where Cable FM service is provided to subscribers for a separately stated charge, and where those services relate solely to audio transmission and are not connected in any manner to video programming, those services are not subject to sales and use tax.
This will require the cable television operators to separately meter those functions, or have a clear allocation of the electricity utilized for transmission which must be not less than 75% of the total used.

 FM Antennas
Without hills, mountains, or buildings to impede its progress, an FM phenomenon commonly known as "diffraction" causes the FM broadcast signal to conform to the curvature of the earth for a distance of approximately 30 miles beyond normal line of sight.
To complicate matters, multipath signals in an FM urban environment are generally received from almost the same direction (in the horizontal plane); even a directional outdoor antenna with its horizontal angular discrimination is often incapable of separating the desired direct path signal from this vertically oriented multipath interference.
In most cases, cable FM (provided with some cable television services) is distinctly inferior in the areas of signal-to-noise, cross-talk and RF intermodulation distortion when compared to a properly installed FM antenna, whether indoor or outdoor.

 HPR Reception Tips
Cable companies would pick up FM stations right off- -the-air using conventional receivers and rebroadcast the stations over the cable system on slightly shifted frequencies.
The signals going through the cable were still FM signals, and your receiver was quite happy to tune to them just as it would have had they been picked-up through a conventional antenna.
Most island cable companies have converted or are in the process of converting to digital cable signals and have dropped the old FM service.

The FM signals are carried over the cable network in the standard FM band (88-108 MHz, or in some systems, 90-108 MHz [1]) at a level approximately equal to the TV Channel 6 aural carrier.
Early forms of cable FM service were called "allband FM." The entire FM band was picked up by one or more antennas at the cable headend, and sent out over the cable network with a minimum of processing.
Since cable FM operates with standard FM tuners, there was no way to prevent cable TV subscribers from connecting their own FM tuners to obtain cable FM without paying for it.

 broadband help » News » FM Fans Scrap With Comcast - Cable-co pulls option from CA markets
If one is fortunate enough to get FM off the air, than having it on cable servers no useful purpose and receiving it over the cable in the presence of strong off the air signals causes multi-path distortion unless the cable company uses frequency shifting.
Cable TV's FM service was not an antenna that "pulled in stations" from areas 100+ miles, in caring conditions...
If getting FM service, as some people in these forums have called a lifeline (ha!) in to an area, then I think it should be the responsibility of the FM stations to see that it is capable of being received.

I live in a suburban area 70 miles south of San Francisco, and my preferences are almost exclusively confined to two classical music stations emanating from the city and a public-radio outlet affiliated with the San Francisco school district.
Unfortunately, the low-power school district station (KALW) is not on cable and is squeezed between a pop-rock station to the north and a newly empowered Bible station to the south.
Fantel's article has encouraged me to petition the cable company for a better solution.

 WUVA | 92.7 KISS FM | Charlottesville, Virginia's Ten in a Row Station
The Cable FM station could be heard by anyone in Charlottesville who hooked an FM receiver to their cable TV line.
The station began FM operations on June 22, 1979, migrating its Cable-FM-era format of album-oriented rock, news, and public affairs programming to the airwaves of Central Virginia.
At one point, the active student staff had dwindled to two; and thus the WUVA Board of Directors determined that the station simply had to get back to having its own facilities, on or close to the Grounds, to reinvigorate student participation and set the station's operations on a sustainable, long-term path.

In every case, use well-shielded coaxial cable (usually labeled "CATV" or "RG-6) from the antenna to your radio, using appropriate static drains and grounding ("coaxial lightning arrestors") where the antenna's cable enters the house.
Although many cable TV systems dropped all FM station carriage some time ago, some systems still carry a few FM radio stations in addition to the TV channels.
Even though FM reception from the cable is often slightly degraded, it's better than none at all.

 San Geronimo Valley rallies for cable FM service
But despite the wave of protest, Comcast has steadfastly maintained that the elimination of FM radio from its broadband cable packages was a business decision necessary to bring in new services.
Since FM radio was complimentary, he reasoned, there is no need to reduce monthly fees now that the service has been cut.
Supervisor Adams said that while the cutoff of FM radio service will certainly be "on the table," the absence of competitive cable-providers in the area will put MTA at a disadvantage, since Comcast knows the county has nowhere else to turn.

It took several months for the proper cable to be installed, the transmitter to be repaired, and a new antenna to be installed.
In early 2005, the cable FM broadcast studio to modulator link was changed from expensive, low bandwidth leased lines from the phone company and terrible equipment to a poor man’s audio-over-IP solution — using a free CIS-provided Internet connection at Cox’s head-end to receive a KANM stream with a computer.
