System and method for transmitting radio stations on cable networks with increased data traffic in the VHF range

A system for transmitting radio signals on cable networks by transferring and transferring back at least one very high frequency (VHF) radio signal into or out of a predetermined transmission frequency range of a cable network for transmitting the VHF radio signal in this predetermined transmission frequency range via the cable network, wherein the system comprises:

• at least one frequency band transfer device which is designed for arrangement upstream of a transmission module of a cable headend of the cable network, wherein the frequency band transfer device is designed to transfer at least one radio signal to be transmitted which has an original frequency in an at least 1.5 MHz wide partial range of a VHF range between 30 MHz and 280 MHz, to a transmission frequency in the predetermined transmission frequency range of the cable network for transmission via the cable network, wherein the predetermined transmission frequency range of the cable network is a different range than the partial range in which the original frequency lies;
• at least one frequency band back-transfer device (200) which is designed for an input-side arrangement on a radio receiver connectable to the cable network, namely between a receiver-side cable network connection and a radio receiver connectable to the cable network via the receiver-side cable network connection, wherein the frequency band back-transfer device is designed to transfer the radio signal transmitted at the transmission frequency back to a frequency in the VHF range receivable by a connectable radio receiver.
