Yes. Cable TV companies and many residential building do it all the 
where I live. I live in Finland. 

Digital TV broadcasts and FM radio use different frequencies. 

The idea is that the signals are summed together on the signal source 
end usign suitble filters/combiners and then split out on the other 
end with suitable filters. Those TV/radio splitters are built into 
antenna outlet where I live. Only one coaxial cable enters the outlet, 
put it has separate TV and radio output connectors in it.

Sound doable to me.
