The speed of television waves is exactly the same as the speed of FM radio, heat, infrared light,
green light, purple light, ultraviolet light, microwaves, x-rays, AM radio, bluetooth signals, taxi
radio, garage-door-opener waves, and gamma ray waves ... because all of these waves are
the same thing.
The speed is 299,792,458 meters per second, or 186,282 miles per second.
ADDED: It may help to realise the television is simply a special form of the radio.

How does the sped of radio wave compare with speed of tv waves when both measured in vacuum?
Both radio waves and tv waves are electromagnetic waves. So both have the same speed in vacuum. Of course radio waves are of lower frequency compared to that of tv waves.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
What is the speed of radio and television waves?
They travel at the same speed of light, namely: 299 792 458 m / s (Roughly 300.000 km/s or 186.000 miles per second).
Which is faster gamma waves or radio waves?
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of light at the speed of sound or something in between?
speed of light
What speed do tv rays travel at?
Radio (and TV) waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and as such travel at the speed of light.
What speed do television waves travel in air?
If the information for television goes through the air, the waves used are electromagnetic waves; specifically of the type called RADIO WAVES.All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light when in a vacuum: about 300,000 km/second. In air, the speed is almost the same as in a vacuum.
How does the sped of radio wave compare with speed of tv waves when both measured in vacuum?
Both radio waves and tv waves are electromagnetic waves. So both have the same speed in vacuum. Of course radio waves are of lower frequency compared to that of tv waves.
What speed to em waves travel?
speed of light
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
What speed do electromagnetic waves travel?
the speed of lightspeed of light
What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
Why do waves of different wavelengths travel at the same speed?
All light travel at the same speed.
What is the speed of radio and television waves?
They travel at the same speed of light, namely: 299 792 458 m / s (Roughly 300.000 km/s or 186.000 miles per second).
Can macnetic waves travel at the speed of ligth?
Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. Electric and magnetic waves don't travel on their own - the wave travels as a combined electric and magnetic wave.
Do electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed as a vacuum?
They travel faster
What is it that all electromagnetic waves do the same?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum -- the speed of light.
