Radio Cutting Out

This is a problem I've had since I had the car, but now I'm commuting in it a lot it's really starting to grind my gears...

Every 3 or 4 minutes, my FM radio cuts out for about half a second, which might not sound a lot but it's really frustrating! It happens whether I'm on Capital, Radio 1, Kiss, Choice, LBC, pretty much any station - preset or not. It's happening much more frequently now so I'm pretty sure that it's not a signal strength issue (I live in North West London and commute to Shepherd's Bush every day, the signals strong there) so wondering if it's a faulty unit?

I've had the car just over a year now (from new), would this still be covered under the 3 year warranty? Anyone else noticed this either?

    My first MK7 Fiesta had the very same problem. Sometimes it would even refuse to turn on! I went to ford many many times, only to get the same answer "nothing wrong with it" They did replace the radio after i kept comming back, but it never fixed the problem. In the end i sold the car :)
