Fareham (Hampshire, England) analogue radio transmitter

Can you suggest how to convince the BBC that there is often a signal quality problem with its AM Radio 5 Live transmissions from the transmitter at Fareham Hampshire. I live probably about 4 miles from the site with an unobstructed view. The symptoms are distortion on the audio but the signal is constant. It seems to happen at random times not necessarily in the evening. I get the same problem on all my radios, portable, fixed to a main long wire aerial and if I am listening to my car radio driving in the area. I posted the problem to the BBC but all I got was instructions on trying aerials which I have already done, but the problem is there on all radios.
I would like to use DAB but the signal is so poor here (post code PO13 0QS) that I cannot use a portable radio downstairs and it is only just bearable upstairs.
