Default How can I boost my FM radio reception?

I'm using a stock Civic radio with a stock antenna (which is bent). There are some local stations that I can recieve in all my other cars but not in my Civic, or they come in really bad. Can I do something about this?

Thanks

It's most likely the bent antenna that you need to replace. If you ever took out the factory radio before you might want to check to see if the antenna is plugged all the way in. Sometimes it gets loose and causes radios to loose reception.
