Answer 1

Yes, there are such radios.  You can find one such radio at Radio Shack.  Just remember that the TV stations will vacate the VHF band next year so you will need to buy a radio that tunes the UHF band.  You could also get a really good radio such as one of the ICOM IC-R5-06, IC-R20.

Answer 2

Do you have Sky?  Ask around or go second hand and you may still find a Gnome, which receives sound from your Sky system wirelessly.  There are other wireless systems available to send TV audio (and video) room to room. I know you don't want video but there aren't many audio only senders.
