Default Why does AM reception Suck so BAD?

The reception on my 04 coupe is lousy, was the same on my 03 also. Is a better antenna needed or is the radio itself? I like to catch the news and sports on long trips. I have XM in my YUK, don't want it in the vette. Hate paying to hear commericals. Any idea if it is "fixable"? Thanks

Lousy as compaired to other vehicles / home reception, or compaired to FM?

This might help get you started on your quest.

Hope you get it worked out.

As compared to my other GM vehicles, granted , they have antennas that are not in the glass. This has me thinking about improving the antenna. Thanks for the link.
