Radio waves. A section of the frequency spectrum is reserved for Broadcast Television.

Television signals are transmitted in the VHF (Very High Frequency) range using frequencies from 54 Mhz to 216 Mhz with a section in the middle (88 to 108 Mhz) assigned for FM radio broadcasts. The VHF frequencies were used to accommodate the wide bandwidth needed for the analog video and audio signals. Each broadcasting channel was alloted a 5 Mhz range for audio and video and to allow separation from adjacent channels so that they would not interfere with each other.

The US has since switched from analog to digital television broadcasts but is still using the same VHF frequency range.

Outside the tv visible light waves are used.
