Whether RF helped the defect develop I wouldn't like to comment. It seems
unlikely unless your earthing is bad (or whatever) and there is a strong
RF field where it shouldn't be. What model of radio?

Likely defect, maybe its magnitised. How old is it, there were alot of
sony defective CCDs sold in maybe 03-04 and alot of camera companies
used them.
