Default AM band suddenly stopped working, FM fine. Any ideas?

One day last week I when I turned on my radio (2000 A4 w/ Symphony HU) the traffic station I was listening to the previous day wasn't working. I scanned AM and only one station was tuning in (very weakly). My FM reception is unchanged, and CD changer and in dash CD work fine. I don't hear silence in AM , I hear a weird static/tuning noise. I haven't pulled the HU out (don't have the special tools) but if I get the tools what (if any) connections should I check on the back?

I also heard there is an antenna signal amplifier somewhere else in the car, but if this failed wouldn't FM also be noticibly affected? I am already at the edge of reception for a couple FM stations. I'd think I'd notice if the reception had changed, I'm sure they would be gone.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is it possible that the antenna got scratched?
