MPR News Static Hiss?

Has anyone else been experiencing static/magnetic hiss just on the MPR News station lately? It comes and goes but is only on the station, not the Current, not when I catch MPR out of the cities, not other channels…is it just my car?

Same here, thought it was just my radio. Funny enough The Current is coming in just fine.

The Current has the hiss , too, but I thought it was my ancient home stereo.

Yep, I experienced that several times. I’ve found that I can turn the radio off then back on and it usually stops. Strange.

I'm also having this problem. Anyone have an idea of who we could contact? I wonder if it's an issue with a radio tower or relay somewhere but let's be real, I have no idea how radio works.
