Good ole RFI. Do you have a ground wire running from your TT to the ground post on your preamp? Is your TT and preamp located near your windows? Many phono stages, in particular tube phono stages are very susceptable to RFI. This is true especially in urban areas. It may take multiple ground wires: One from the table to the pre, then from the pre to the ground screw on the electrical outlet, or from the pre to metal ground on your rack or cabinet.
ARRGGHH! I know what you are going through. I had a radio transmission tower nearby (within a couple of miles) and had the same problem. When I switched from my forte full function preamp to a benz PP1 phono pre unit the Benz unit was sufficiently shielded that the fm was inaudible... then I moved to another location and never had the problem again. You may have to move to get rid of it or build a box out of mu-metal around your preamp!(very expensive)
