Table radio

The KLH Model Eight FM table radio circa 1960

A table radio is a small, self-contained radio receiver used as an entertainment device. Most such receivers are limited to radio functions, though some have compact disc or audio cassette players and clock radio functions built in; some models also include shortwave or satellite radio functionality.[1][2][3]

Though generally compact in design, table radios are not necessarily intended to be portable in the manner of a boom box. Many can run on battery power, however, making them useful as emergency radios.

Some with CD functionality traditionally have top loading CD players but more recently can have front loading CD players.[3]
