Interesting point.  I admit that I normally don't think of, say,
metre-wave radiation being photons, but of course it is.  (What I mean
is that the typical radio receiver is not a photon-counting device.)  
So, to answer your question, I don't know.

What is true, though, is that most of the energy in radiation comes from
CMB photons.

[Mod. note: for observational constraints on the low-frequency radio
background, see the summary in Section 4 of
