You miss the point TV is VHF, far shorted wavelength than the AM radio
band. I think there may be something about it historically however in
that the first experimental TV pictures were transmitted over a regular
AM radio using a synchronized rotating disk with an aperture. I've never
actualy seen one of those babies except in old radio books. IIRC they
even brought back the rotating disk idea when the first colour image
experiments were first tried. Reminded me of those crazy Christmas light
things with a three colour film rotating disk in front of a flood lamp.
