Narrative:

On approach control frequency 118.6 inbound to cak saginaw, mi ATIS was plainly audible and quite disturbing. I could receive ATIS from 9000 ft down to 4000 ft MSL while descending for approach to cak. This occurred during a relatively low-use time and did not cause a problem, but the potential for extraneous #'south to be inserted between transmissions is very high.

Narrative: ON APCH CTL FREQ 118.6 INBOUND TO CAK SAGINAW, MI ATIS WAS PLAINLY AUDIBLE AND QUITE DISTURBING. I COULD RECEIVE ATIS FROM 9000 FT DOWN TO 4000 FT MSL WHILE DSNDING FOR APCH TO CAK. THIS OCCURRED DURING A RELATIVELY LOW-USE TIME AND DID NOT CAUSE A PROBLEM, BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR EXTRANEOUS #'S TO BE INSERTED BTWN TRANSMISSIONS IS VERY HIGH.
