In an intercarrier TV, an FM audio signal without the video carrier cannot
be received, because the operation of the circuits relies on the video
carrier as a local oscillator to move the FM signal to the audio Intermediate
Frequency of 4.5 MHz. I believe every FM/TV combo uses completely
different RF/IF circuits for these two functions, at least after the mid-fifties.
