Q. What is an FM splitter?

Product Description 900 MHz f-pin coaxial splitters are used to split over-the-air broadcast signals like that of VHF and UHF television and FM radio. This particular splitter will allow you to split one source signal into six so you can share an antenna between six TVs or radios without having to switch wires.

Q. Does AM and FM use the same antenna?

Q. Can you use a TV antenna for AM radio?

They other guys are right, a TV antenna will not work on AM. The loop antenna inside your clock radio will work better on AM than a TV antenna. If you really want to improve AM reception you could get a Select-a-tenna; it’s basically a large AM loop antenna inside a round plastic box.
