* Static. Static is a common problem with radio reception, and it can make it difficult to hear what's being said.
* A bad connection. If your radio is not properly connected to your antenna, you may experience a bad connection, which can cause the sound to cut in and out.
* A weak signal. If you're in an area with a weak radio signal, you may have trouble hearing the station clearly.
* Interference. Interference from other electronic devices, such as cell phones or computers, can also cause problems with radio reception.
* A DJ who talks too much. Some DJs talk more than they play music, which can be annoying if you're just trying to listen to music.
* A show that's not to your taste. If you don't like the music or talk show that's on the radio, you may want to turn the station.
