This was the intercarrier TV sound signal (FM) leaking from a nearby (analogue) TV!
I recall some sets used to radiate this very well. Wasn't there a commercially available 'TV Hi-Fi' system that used a small sniffer coil rather like a telephone pickup coil to sample the 6 MHz signal from the TV and pass it to a demodulator then out to your hifi? I think it may have been of Tomorrow's World'.
