Must be something (metal framing?) in the housing construction that reduces the radio signals from coming through. A external antenna would be the answer if you wanted to go into the expense and trouble. Insofar as listening to syndicated talk radio hosts such as Rush, Hannity, Beck and others on the internet, you are out of luck if you think you can get them for free. Commercial radio stations are not allowed to simulcast these shows over the internet. Instead, they will substitute alternative programming on the internet when Rush or whoever is on. To listen to these hosts over the internet, you have to pay and subscribe to their website. When Rush is broadcasting on WABC in New York, there is another program playing on the internet feed.
