regarding FM radiodesign

Analog TV transmissions stop in a couple of months in the United States.
They stop in Canada in a couple of years.

Luckily the cable TV companies will convert the new digital transmissions to analog for old TVs. The few people with antennas can buy a digital to analog converter for their old TVs.

My son and my daughter have high definition TVs. They both have satellite receivers.
 
Remember when North American TVs had a "flesh-colour" correction circuit?
Apples and bananas were orange like over-saturated flesh colour.
Grass was blue like the sky.

No, grass was blue like the Boise State football "turf".
 

well thank you RadioRon it cleared my doubts. i have attached two schematics one is active bandpass filter using opamp and the other one is second order butterworth BPF. I dont know how to choose the characteristic impedance for the filters and also not clear about the part played by the characteristic impedance. I know it takes care of the matching but i am interested in understanding little deeper. Can anybody help me in choosing appropriate circuit and clear my doubts.

At 90 to 100MHz you will have to forgo an active filter and go with a passive RC design, or tuned amp as Ron suggested. Unless opamps have changed lately(Which may have happened), I don't think they are the best for RF. Poor Bandwidth, Noise Figure, and intermodulation distortion to name a few.
