Coaxial cable with threaded coupler on the end for the receiver connection.
If your cable TV provider supplies FM radio stations, you can pick up the signal through a cable connected to your home theater or stereo receiver. Some receivers are equipped with a coaxial input to connect with a cable. Other models have a pair of spring-clip connectors that hold the two wires for an FM antenna. For a wire connection, you'll need a device called a Balun transformer, which has two wire leads on one end and a coaxial jack on the other. A Balun transformer can also be used to connect a wire-lead receiver to a coaxial cable antenna for improved reception.
