Narrative:
During preflight contact with the ground crew; each time the ground crewman keyed the microphone to communicate with the flight deck a local radio station could be heard. The radio station was loud enough to make it difficult to hear the ground person. There is no problem when the flight deck transmits. This is an ongoing issue at dfw gates. Problem is on going but has not caused delays yet. This is an on going issue. Ground management has not addressed the issue because we have not delayed flights. It is getting bad enough we need to address it soon. It appears; to me; to be related to the wireless headset use.
