    Any reason for having a split b/w the stereo/mac/tv? Just the easy way out I am guessing. Your cables are likely working as an antenna... Your first thing to do should be to move the cables around and see if that helps. If not, I suggest looking into buying some shielded cables. That would be your best option.

    Radio station could have changed the frequency they send out or they may have upgraded/added a tower that you are close to... I'm almost sure that a shielded cable would fix your issue

    It should work in theory, Antenna=long piece of metal, cable= long piece of bendy metal

    Well yeah... It's not a theory really. Same kind of shit I ran into when I hooked up the HIDs in my truck. They were putting off frequencies that were screwing up my radio signals. I shielded them, and all is well.

    Exactly, radio transmitters have a great fondness for causing interference. This is not surprising, since their primary job is to pump 100 watts or more of radio energy into the sky. Ideally all of this energy would be sent off towards the distant receiver, but this is not the case. Antennas, particularly small ones, radiate in all directions, and worse yet, any imbalance in the antenna system causes the coax cable, power wires, and every other interconnection to becme part of the antenna system and radiate also. You are not picking up a station that your radio is turned to. Go to radio shack and pick up a couple clip on ferrite cores. Couple bucks is all. Place them on the cables near the plugs... That should help your cause. If that doesn't work, your best best is still shielded cable.
