Telephone Line Noise Question

Telephone Line Noise Question:

Two-line POTS telephone.

Line-two receives a radio broadcast 24/7. It is just audible enough to be intelligible when phone conversation grows quiet.

It is definitely the telephone line as the same broadcast can be heard on a different phone at a different jack on the same line.

Does not appear to affect dial-up internet connection in any way.

My question is, is there any over-the-counter line filter or something I could pick up at Radio Shack? Does anyone have schematics for building such a device? Has anyone else successfully eliminated a similar problem?

Any info would be appreciated.

Does the phone company have anything to say about responsibility for the stray brocasting on your pots line?

We used to be plagued with this kind of stuff in my neighborhood until we found the guy with the defective cordless phone. It was feeding so much of this crap into his line that there was corresponding crosstalk everywhere.

Radio Smack sells a line noise eliminator for a few bucks.
