An FM multiplex broadcasting and receiving system has an FM multiplex broadcast apparatus and an FM multiplex receiving apparatus. The FM multiplex broadcast apparatus has a reproducing device for reproducing, from a recording medium, an audio signal and character data associated with the audio signal recorded in the recording medium. The FM multiplex broadcast apparatus also includes a multiplex device and a frequency modulation device. The multiplex device multiplexes the audio signal with additional information such as the character data to generate a multiplex signal. The frequency modulation device frequency modulates a carrier with the multiplex signal to provide an FM multiplex broadcasting signal. The FM multiplexing receiving apparatus has a frequency demodulating device for frequency demodulating the FM multiplex broadcast signal to provide an audio signal and an additional information data signal, a displaying device displaying the additional information data signal.
