Tuner into Cable jack?


On a diagram of possible connections that comes with a new McIntosh component, they suggest routing a line between the "Cable Company Connection" and the FM Antenna jack on a tuner.
I had been considering adding a tuner (hence my inclusion of this post in the Analog section, I think tuners are considered analog...) but have had to postpone due to inability to get an antenna effectively running in my apartment. However if I could simply run a cable in between a cable TV jack and my tuner, that would be problem solved.
Has anyone done this before? Does this work? I had never heard of this possibility until seeing it on the diagram.
Again for context I am in an apartment building. Thanks.

Some cable companies ( very few ) provide FM broadcasts. You will have to call your cable provider to find out if they offer that service! I doubt that they do!
