I've been away for a while and can't remember how to get the radio mods to work. I have the CBS Radio mod installed in the Jones Enabler but I only hear the menu music through the grammaphone. Can someone tell me how to get the CBS station to play and not the game music? Thank you all in advance. I am running the 1.4 patch by the way.

You need to make some changes to the radio.ini file, sometimes enabling a mod will mess this up, I will post my set-up in a bit.

Edit: Here is my radio set up:

[GENERAL]
RadioRealism=Yes
StartCh=1

[CHANNEL]
Name=Washington
Folder=Washington
Freq=22
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
;MusicVolumeOnNews takes values from 0.01 to 1
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.4

[CHANNEL]
Name=CBS NEWS
Folder=CBS NEWS
Freq=30
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:34.05,-118.22:100000
;MusicVolumeOnNews takes values from 0.01 to 1
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

[CHANNEL]
Name=NBC
Folder=NBC
Freq=40
Antenna=01.01.1930-01.01.2000:44.16,-35.10:100000
;MusicVolumeOnNews takes values from 0.01 to 1
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.1

[CHANNEL]
Name=BBC
Folder=BBC
Freq=50
Antenna=01.01.1941-01.01.1946: 51.45,-0.12:100000
MusicVolumeOnNews=0.01

You can do the above manually ( remember to back up your original file ), but make sure that you do this before enabling the radio mods, and delete any of the radio.ini files ( if they are there ) in the radio mods that you want to enable. Do this because when you enable they will overwrite any changes you made.

Also, here is an earlier thread on the subjecy, have a look:

Or, if you don't feel like doing that manually and you want to verify that your radio station mods don't have any media file errors that cause CTDs, take a look here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=120510 at the RadioStationManager.
