What is the name of this antenna jack?

Question

I have a hand-me-down Insignia (Best Buy house brand) stereo receiver.  The FM antenna jack is identical to the one I've circled in this picture.

It's not an "F" connector; It's certainly not a BNC connector (although it's about that size).  I'm guessing that it's standard for another market; Europe or Asia, maybe.

I need an adapter for a U.S. style "F" connector, or a conector I can crimp on to an RG-59 cable, but first I need to know the name of THIS connector.

Anybody recognize it?

Its a sheilded BNC type  but set up as a quick connect, rather than typical screw on connector.- uses  a pedestrian 75 ohm coaxial cable. largely, used to connect to rooftop type antennas in liew of your typical flat lead.  may require a special adapter for cable to flat lead on some antennas. some indoor antennas also use coax cable, so if you are going to buy one, might as well get one that matches the connector you have rather than bother with afixing a flat lead to coax adapter.

Insignia stereo components were made by the cheapest bidders, namely LG.  They were capable of non-NTSC usage.  It is probably a PAL connector.
