They suppress them very significantly. You are probably in a position where
you have (depending on the antenna of course) very high signal levels, and if
you have a long wire or similar, you might have just a touch of corrosion
somewhere that is causing the problem. (Along with front end overload..)

Amazing what a volt of signal will do to the front end of a radio designed for
a millionth of that will do...

Have the same problem with WBT here in Charlotte. Move out of the main lobe,
and all is well, stay in the peak signal area, and get WBT everywhere. The
cable TV ends up with WBT in almost all their local analog signals.. Of
course, there it looks like stripes of noise.. (Diagonal banding.)
