I have recently moved into a new apartment.  Whenever I turn on my
stereo there is a radio station in the background. Admittedly my 
stereo isn't the best (It's one of those with a receiver, cassette
player and turntable built all together), but it suits me fine, and
it is driving me crazy!

It's a foreign station, sounds possibly russian, but I don't know russian.
There is alot of talking, and once in a while they play music for about
15 seconds. 

It doesn't matter if I have the cassette player, radio or record player on,
nor does it matter what I have the volume set at.  It's always the same!
I tried to see if there was any AM, FM or TV station that was playing this,
and there wasn't. I tried plugging it into a number of different plugs
around the apartment, and it didn't go away until I used a couple of 
extensions cords and plugged it on the other side of the apartment.
Of course this isn't a practical solution.

Does anybody know what could be causing this?  If so, what practical solutions
are there? Thanks for any help.
