My dad always had a radio tuned to a local country station playing lowly in the garage, 24/7. The thing never turned off.
He passed in 2016, and now the radio plays away situated on a workbench in my brothers garage. It gets turned up when someone is actually working out there, but only turned down and not off when they retire to the house.
As I recall this, I remember it wasn't even just the most recent model. Repairing radios wasn't his thing so eventually they'd get replaced when broken, but I can recall at least two distinct radios over the years so I really think he'd been doing that for quite many years.
