Yes! a coaxial cable can go bad. Yes! you can suddenly lose the signal from an atenna because of a bad cable. A a new coaxial cable may fix the problem as long as the damaged cable is the source of the problem. However if the signal problem is at the tap or one of the splitters in your home you will need to call your cable company to fix the problem.

Why does the FM reception not work on a 1998 Dodge Dakota radio?

Sounds like an antenna or coaxial cable problem, especially if you're still getting some AM frequencies. AM receivers can often pick up stations even with the lack of antenna input, but FM receivers are pretty unforgiving. Check that the coaxial cable is plugged properly into the back of the radio, then check, if necessary, the connection at the base of the antenna, assuming the antenna is still there. Those are the two most likely locations for coax trouble.

Does your new tv hAVe a AV port on it for your nes or do they not do that anymore?

You should be able to connect the RF adapter that came with you NES into the coaxial cable port on your tv even though you probably don't use that connection anymore for your cable or satellite connection. Then all you have to do is put your tv on the antenna/cable input and tune it to channel 3.
