well actually no, 2 factors are in play here, in real time analog transmissions they are subject to the doppler effect when moving and this is in fact how radar works, it affects the transmission but not enough to disrupt the transmission to the listener noticeably, the effect is just like moving the tuning knob slightly off frequency, digital systems on the other hand are subjected to buffering, this is pretty much the reason why all the football broadcasts these days are all out of sync due to the different paths across the ethernet they use being subjected to different latency, where back in the 80s they were all pretty much in sync on the analog system,
the effect of signals reaching the receiver on the old alalog system was however noticeable on the analog tv system in ghosting, where a 2nd weaker signal was interpreted and painted a signal slightly to the left or right of the stronger one depending on if the later received signal was stronger or weaker. the old tv system worked by an electron gun painting the lines across the screen one by one,
