My computer speakers are picking up a radio station...?

My computer speakers are picking up a radio station so whenever I turn them on I hear it and it interferes with everything else I want to listen to. It's been going on for a while now - a month or so, and I just want to put an end to it. Does anyone know why my computer speakers are doing this and how I can stop it?

Thanks =)

    Go to Radio Shack and explain what's happening.

    It sounds to me like the speaker cables are acting as an antenna, and picking up the signal that way.

    Computers are notoriously poorly shielded, so they give interference and receive it pretty easily.

    Wrapping the cable through a toroid core may fix it. You can get the toroids for 2 for $8 at Radio Shack.
