Gameplay
Locations
Bendy and the Ink Machine
In Bendy and the Ink Machine, interacting with the radio will play an instrumental and shorter version of a fan song, except in the fifth chapter where it plays an official song. The radio can't be played again after the song has finished. It can only be found once per chapter.
- In Chapter 1: Moving Pictures, the radio is in the dream hallway's small office. Interacting it will play the instrumental version of Bendy and the Ink Machine song by Kyle Allen Music.
- In Chapter 2: The Old Song, the radio is on the desk inside of Sammy Lawrence's office, accessed after draining the ink. Interacting the radio will play the instrumental version of Build Our Machine by DAGames.
- In Chapter 3: Rise and Fall, the radio sits on a box next to some instruments near Level 11. It's located in a small corner of the stairwell which connects the levels of the workshop. The radio plays an instrumental version of Bendy and the Ink Musical by Random Encounters.
- In Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders, the radio can be made by using the Ink Maker. To do so, Henry must place thick ink into the Ink Maker in the cavern, turn the dial to the radio's image, and crank the machine. The music radio plays an instrumental version of Can't Be Erased by JT Music.
- In Chapter 5: The Last Reel, in order to obtain the radio, Henry must first drain the Film Vault area to get access to it. The first box to his left can be open, thus revealing a radio. The music radio plays a low quality version of Lonely Angel / I'll Be Your Angel performed by Lauren Synger, making this music radio the only radio to contain an official song instead of a fan-made song.
- In the post-Chapter 5 epilogue, in Joey Drew' s apartment, a more realistic version of the radio is found on the desk with the model of the lighthouse. This radio doesn't need to be interacted with and plays I'll Be Your Angel in a loop.
Boris and the Dark Survival
The radio is one of the randomly generated supplies that Boris the Wolf needs to collect before he heads to the next level(s).
Bendy and the Dark Revival
The radio makes a minor appearance in Bendy and the Dark Revival, simply playing music when interacted with. Occasionally Lost Ones will interact with the one in Little Devil Lounge. There are two more in the Heavenly Toys Department and near a Sheep Songs! poster respectively.
If the player turns on the one in Little Devil Lounge, and then hurries through Atrium Supply, past the area where Audrey consumed a thick-ink canister, and through a breakable wall to the left of a desk, the player might be able to go through a door labelled "Quiet Please," containing a room with a game called Dungeons and Ink Demons.

Behind the scenes
The radio is a recurring object in the Bendy series, making its debut in Bendy and the Ink Machine.
Development
The radio was developed during production for Bendy and the Ink Machine's initial DLC release of Chapter 2: The Old Song. Prior to the release of Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders, the radio did not glow when hovering over it with the cursor.
Before the release of Bendy and the Dark Revival, theMeatly tweeted a picture of the radio's design in the game, saying that he thinks the radio model improves with every game it's used for.[Citation needed]
Inspirations
The radio's designs appear to resemble different iterations of the 'Crosley Cathedral' set of radios.
