Lights, Radio, T.V, Everyday

This is a picture of a radio that we have around the house that we hardly use. However, these pictures come from a time when there was a power outage and we were huddled in the living room listening for any news on the radio. The radio waves that this radio was receiving during this power outage happened to fall in the electromagnetic spectrum. Specifically, around 88 to 108MHZ, because it was FM radio. I'd venture a guess to say that we were receiving a frequency around 92MHZ during the power outage. I am one of the few people who does not have cable t.v. As a result we have to adjust the antennae or "bunny ears" as some call it, to get good reception. Often times, what happens is that I will hear the radio when I am adjusting the frequency. This means that whatever frequency the t.v station is broadcasting at, must be the same frequency the radio station is broadcasting at. However, I've always wondered (at least since taking physics) if there could be some wave reinforcement or partial cancellation going on when this is happening. Often times, the signal goes bad when I hear the radio on my t.v, so what may be happening is the radio signal and the t.v signal may be combining to cancel partially. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the crests and troughs are overlapping completely to cancel out the wave, because I still get a partial signal. Watching CSI with reggae interludes is not fun.
