Default Radio Issues!!!

I am really wondering if anyone else has had the same issue I am with the radio. This started a couple weeks ago and has gotten more frequent. When driving listen to whatever radio station...poof....the radio changes the station to 91.9FM. This is getting more frequent, wondering if any had the same issues?

Might be your battery going bad. Have you changed the factory battery?

this has never happened to me sounds really odd though.

Check your battery health. Also, reset your settings by disconnecting the battery terminal for 5 minutes, then reconnect. This solve weird GPS issues I had in the past.

Yes I have the original battery in my vehicle, I did in fact go to Advance Auto PArts and Autozone.....they come out and check your battery for free....both times they checked, it stated my battery was in great shape BUT after I had the car revved up past 2200 or so RPM the battery stopped being charged. And now that I think about it, every time the radio switch to 91.9 the car was either at or above this RPM point. Could my alternator be going bad? Any suggestions? I will try disconnecting the battery tonight, wondering if any one else has any other input!
