It won't work! The cable will give the TV channels, as what comes down both wires (the FM one and TV one) is exactly the same (they're split at the box).

What is important here is what is actually being pumped down the wire and that is the TV signals (for digital if you're on that, plus the analogue channels) plus the FM feed.

As your TV doesn't receive FM signals (I'm assuming it doesn't, I've not heard of one that does) there would be no way of hearing them on the TV (unless you bought a bit of kit that would modulate them to UHF frequencies - in which case it's cheaper to buy a radio tuner!)

It's the same as saying that by plugging in a TV antenna into a radio and expecting the soundtrack of BBC1 to appear on the radio!
