Adrian, how disappointing.
I have heard effects like this from digital processing, where "space" is not continuous but only happens when "there is an event in it", like the Hindu "breathing" of the Universe. Stations certainly process their sound differently, and also differently at different times of day, etc., but they all process heavily. Most use digital methods these days, including the strict "I/O" "gates" that produce the type of problem you describe (if I understand you correctly, of dourse).
I have also heard something like this - centering on ambience/space - with bad caps.
And one can't expect caps to live for 30 years; some of those caps are likely to be bad.
Good luck!
