Is this common knowledge or my weird discovery

Well I was just slacking abit when playing the guitar so I got the input of the cord and made it touch my humbucker on my Les Paul. I started hearing "voices" so I raised my guitar upward and my amp started sounding like a radio and someone was talking through it. I heard music and jingles :) Too bad I could not switch the channel

If you want to try this is what I used (can't guarantee it will work though):

Les Paul Studio (Epiphone model)
FenderFrontman Amp

I don't know what the factors are that cause it, but I used to receive Turkish radio all the time through my guitar and amp.

I think this is pretty common, especially with poorly shielded pickups and cables.

yes, very interesting. I wonder how the signal from the radio gets so damn far? I had German radio one time on my amp (i live in america), it was crazy!

I hate it I hate it I hate it. It's such a pain in the ass. I get that hassle all the time when I'm trying to record on my four track. I find that a wah pedal makes it worse too! I think it sort of tunes the thing in but I've only ever picked up one radio station at a sitting.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
