Default very bad FM reception, what to check?

So I get into the car today and notice that my favorite radio station is not coming in, i screw around with the tuner for a bit only to find that only the very close stations come in, all three of them on the fm dial.

The radio is acting like it as no connection to the antenna.

What, where should I check?

Thanks everyone.

Have you had any work done to the head liner?

The antenna is your rear window defrost grid and it may have come unplugged.

Take a look around the back window to see if you can find where the antenna plug is. Maybe remove and replace it to make sure it has a good connection.

Of course it could be disconnected at the back of the radio too but I think that is much less likely.
