Is Rod Serling's ghost standing in the corner of your bedroom?
As I try to imagine why chimp’s clock radio started working again, my brain megahertz!

It was all a dream? Ah, that explains everything. Did you wake up next to Suzanne Pleshette today, too?
Maybe a bad transformer near your home that the electric company replaced without you being aware that they did it?
With or without Pluto?

Andromeda.
That wouldn't affect whether the clock radio turned itself on.
It wasn't turning on at all.
As for the relevance, the old clock radio picks up AM and the new one does not. Even the nearest station is just static.
It keeps on going in cycles...It's the AM that started working, so that should actually be kilohertz.
"Nothing made sense with this AM station. I mean, the owner was an heiress, the program director talked in alliteration, the news director kept missing the point of things. And then there were these three engineers, but only one of them talked."
That's Goofy.
We had solar panels in Oakland. They mostly did not cause noise except right at 1200 kHz, but there was an attenuating effect on weaker signals. If I went about six feet away from the house, that effect disappeared.

No, that was WKRP.
It just so happens my clock radio came on just before Gil Gross introduced himself and said he was hosting special July 4 programming. Normally there is a morning host doing news, reports from Fox News Radio and maybe sports updates, and clips from the syndicated talk shows.
Oh, no wonder. Fox News has frequently been confused with static.
The radio version doesn't seem biased.
