I recall seeing a graphic illustration of the problem that can be
caused by receiving stations on interfering IF frequencies.

I visited a friend with a Technics digital tuning stereo receiver
who lived in a location where WFNX 101.7 and WBUR 90.9 came in
just about equally strong, and because the location was on a hill,
the signal strength for both stations was strong at the receiver.

This receiver produced a mix of WFNX and WBUR audio when tuned to
ANY spot on the FM dial on which there wasn't another strong local
station.
