the most obvious possible causes first, such as the following examples:

pressed Mains power plug is not inserted
fully into rear socket Plug in securely.

pre-amp or amplifier

Excessive background noise (hiss or
crackle on FM)

Consider a rooftop DAB/FM aerial see

Tuned station does not transmit the
