Yes. Radio signals are electromagnetic waves which generate fluctuating currents of electricity in an arial. Both the voltage and current are very low and are amplified by the TV or radio receiver.

The aerial should only carry micro volts in the 450-950 Mhz range which it has received from the transmitter.
The cable connected to it is AC coupled to the aerial socket so there is no DC voltage in the centre core of the cable. The outer braid is at chassis potential ie 0Volts.
If you are getting an electrical shock from the cable connector, you may have a problem with the isolation.

in normal operation, an ariel or antenna has about as much electricity as in a human. Which is to say, not much. Different if you're using a satellite, but you only asked about an ariel.

no. but it could if you aplied a curent. or it could carry static electric or lightning curent. But very unlikely, so no u should be getting electric from what it is plug in to i e tv or radio ect. from will who has been repairing electronics for ten years.

Just a tiny amount. Except in electrical storms.

it must carry some sort of energy for it to work but very low as with phone lines in the uk only carrying around 50khz i think ...

Yes, but imperceivably low voltage.
