Yes, the NEC requires grounding antennas. Article 820.
For cable TV and satellite TV, the grounding wire requirement for the dish
can be met by a continuous run of the coax shield, which is then bonded to
the ground system prior to entry into the house.
Some splitters can serve as the bonding means (they'll have a hexagonal
head screw painted green).
As mentioned, a huge number of satellite and cable tv installations don't
meet code.
