I can receive the commercial FM band just fine on my IC-706.
Why can't I receive TV audio on it?

Fred, is the correct answer because although analogue TV sound in
frequency modulated on a sub carrier of the composite signal, the sub
carrier is not transmitted in the "commercial FM band".

Cecil's IC-706 may not cover the entire TV broadcast bands, he only
asked why, when he can receive the commercial fm band just fine, can
he not receive TV sound in general.

Cecil probably knows the answer.
