If I bend my cable tv's coax cable some channels are distorted. What's actually happening when I change the channel on my TV?

The frequency being tuned into is adjusted- how does that happen? (Perhaps an example involving an older analog radio or TV would be pertinent).
I noticed that adding 180 degree bends to a cable TV cable (folding the cable back on to itself) several times (5) distorts some channels but not others. Also the number of bends seems to matter in terms of which channels are distorted.
