It is NOT leakage in your transmitting antenna system. It MIGHT be, 
but probably is not, leakage in the TV antenna system. A much more 
likely cause is a pin 1 problem in the TV set or an audio system to 
which the TV is connected. It also might be made worse by common 
mode current causing radiation from the coax. A good coax choke 
would kill that current. 

There are many ways in which RFI and TVI can occur. Study that RFI 
tutorial that I pointed you to, which explains most of them (the 
ones I've thought of) in detail. Once you understand them, you can 
then use the detailed advice in the tutorial to first figure out 
which one(s) is(are) happening in your particular instance and FIX 
it(them).
