Radio

There are two radios who made their debut in The Brave Little Toaster. One of them is named "the Loud/Inquisitive Radio". He is a Catalin vacuum tube based A.M. alarm dial-meter antique radio (computer). Like E.B., Elmo St. Peters's Monster Truck, a few or most of the Refrigerators, any of the T.V.s, Junko the Battery or Boxy the Fuse Box, he happens to be one of the characters who lacks an anthropomorphic face, except that his yellow dial with its red pointer is possibly his eye and that his speaker is possibly his (immovable) mouth, but he also possibly has hidden tuning knobs. He is voiced by Jon Lovitz in the first film and Roger Kabler in its sequels, and in the first film, his voice resembles Walter Winchell, the unseen announcer that can be heard through the Radio's speaker. He is possibly the brother of T.V. The other one is a brown antique radio that Rob (the Master) found at Ernie's Disposal.

Personality
With the qualities of loud, pretentious, different-voiced radio announcers and singers, the Radio is prone to exaggeration and boasting. Also, he often narrates his own adventures in a rather overdramatic style. His voice is that of an early 20th century news reporter, and he repeats major references referring to that era.

Relationships
The Radio seems to get along with the other appliances in the first movie except for Kirby, until near the very end. In the film's sequels, the Radio helps out his fellow appliances whenever they need it. He can be heard broadcasting minor events that occur or playing music from different stations.

Trivia

 * The Radio bears some resemblance to Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000.
 * There is a cameo of Radio and friends in the series The Oz Kids in the episode "Christmas in Oz".
 * Radio was the first character in the original film to speak (though the second one proven "alive" via movement after the rudely awakened Lampy) with a morning announcement, referenced later in the same movie to be "6 as usual."
 * Considering that the Master left them behind as a little kid, it's most likely that 6 AM was the time that boy had to get up and get ready for school in the morning.
