Remember when they experimented with audio simulcast of TV shows on an FM radio station? Back in the days of CRT and single mono speakers. I distinctly remember a Calgary TV and FM station duo doing this for the tv-movie premier thing of Miami Vice.

@scuttlebutt it was not an experiment, the VHF and FM bands are next to eachother, and the tv tuner and fm tuners in both radios can overlap and tune in this area, channel 6. This was commonly used by stations to their advantage.

@scuttlebutt I also remember how an FM radio could be tuned down to 88MHz and pick up OTA TV channel 6. There was a show I really wanted to watch on Global but I was stuck in a car with my parents so I just listened to it instead.
