I was wrong on the flat-screen tv, but a radio must not use much at all.
I've not checked, but they used to have transistors that would play for
hours or days on a 9-volt battery, so I assume they don't use much. 

And I too have the radio on about 85% of the time.   News mainly.  And
the tv about 5% of the time, when I eat.  60's reruns.

I don't think I'd be miffed but it's so long since I've had company, I'm
not sure.
