I had the same problem at one point in the warehouse at Weatherhill, and ordered something from Crutchfields (www.crutchfield.com) - the Terk AF-9330, which is an amplified AM/FM antenna, runs about $25, and works pretty well. Terk makes other models for more money (at least one of the Terk antenna kits runs over $100) with different filtering and antenna characteristics.

There are other companies that make units that basically turn your building's electrical wiring plant into one big antenna - the one's that work on this principle tend to pick up lots of low-frequency hum from flourescent light ballasts and the like. It seems like Damark has had something like that in their catalogs for years now.
