Keeping TV and FM separate is preferred, particularly when one or more FM signals are strong and one or more TV signals are weak. You'll avoid a common source of interference if you keep the FM signals out of the TV system.

Also consider that RG-6 will have far less loss at VHF frequencies than at UHF. Per http://www.timesmicrowave.com/calcul...calculate#form you can expect less than 3 dB of loss in 100' of RG-6 at 100 MHz. If you need to amplify weak TV signals, the chances of a strong FM signal causing trouble goes up.

I would opt for an antenna designed specifically for FM. http://www.antennacraft.net/Antennas/AntennasFM.html
