TVs receiving broadcast programming do, they just use it to produce both picture and sound; instead of just sound as an ordinary radio does.

TVs receiving cable programming don't.

TVs receiving satellite programming do, but the radio waves are in the microwave band transmitted from the satellite and received by your dish, where they are down converted via a microwave superheterodyne stage in the dish so that they are in the frequency range the TV can handle.

Radio and television waves do not travel- it is difficult to explain, as they can use radio in outer space- look at satellites and moon shots.
