Default 2000 Radio/Clock trouble

This one is beyond me; when I started my '00 Dakota this morning, the clock was off over an hour, and the local radio stations would not tune in. In fact, I was pulling stations on said frequencies from 90 miles away or more.

Stumped!! Can anyone advise? Thanks.

check battery connections. this definately sounds like a battery terminal issue. ironicaly enough, i had to put a new positive battery terminal on my dak over the weekend.
