The radio (broadcast receiver) can bring in music, news and entertainment. Modern radios take up very little space and will pick up stations in many places.
Radios can also be decorative... some are water proof for use in areas like bathrooms. Many radios are integrated into other devices such as stereo systems.
When radios first became available for consumer purchase, the family would often gather around to hear favorite shows.
Considerations
- analog versus digital
