Or the Model Ten
You can thank me later.

Every couple of years I have a temper fit and smash a clock radio with my 22 oz. ball peen hammer.
We just lost another one tonight. I sent the most recent one to Hell, with a nice taste of my anger.
My wife will thank you all for a solid recommendation.
Yes, I have a very good Sangean as well.
I used to do in televisions just before I married Mrs. RQSR, but I had a great excuse. It was during J. Carter administration.
I don’t have good reception. A local station blasts the area, making it difficult to tune other area stations.
My solution was to use my laptop and android tablet. Each has a radio app/program. They don’t have all stations, but they do have the talk stations I primarily listen to in the morning and afternoon — WMAL or KSFO.
My clock radio is used primarily for the clock in the bedroom. It gets static on the radio bands.
Or the Model Ten
You can thank me later.
But, he's funny how? Funny like a clown? he amuses you? He makes you laugh? He's here to f***in' amuse you?
(hopefully, you've seen Good Fella's)
(If not, it's a movie quote. Don't get upset)
I see a few others mentioned them as well. They really get the “radio/clock radio” concept. To them it is not old hat.
Hey, Modernity, we can’t stream everything!
Dear WT chuck. I am an avid reader. Little old lady mysteries, Sherlock Holmes investigations, even soviet spy novels. Please get a battery operated radio, no matter what. Or, buy a big lovey wall clock , and a small battery operated radio as its faithful companion that lovingly displays the time on the ceiling.
With the way things are going, I’m afraid you won’t make it to the porch to demolish it, when immediate self electrification is so close at hand, and the news is just so crazy/lousy/an infuriating!
Good hunting, from someone who sees both sides!
P.s. Set the kitchen alight today while seasoning a cast iron pan with paper towels. Now I have that rugged charred spar looking floor!
Mazey, who likes being obeyed once in a while.
Next time try vegetable oil.
You might want to check out this little model. You can park it in the back yard, and use it to wake up the whole town.
You can set it to one of these polka stations down there in Texas. (That should be a hit with all the neighbors every morning, and you may even be able to run for elected office there after setting that up.)
Another one you might want to consider is one of these hammer-resistant clock-in-a-rock models, with a radio in the back. You can hit 'em, but you can't hurt 'em.
What is a HD tuner? If it is not the AM band, I would not buy it.
I’m looking for a good digital radio too. The Micronta 63-765A may not be easy to find. I think you would be buying an used radio.
Heathkit is not the Heathkit of years past. This company that has taken over the Heathkit domain has only one radio receiver ($149.95)with no digital display and a few upgrade kits for previous kits.
Get a shower radio!

They are water proof
This one is NICE
Here is a cheaper but more basic one:
Newegg is a decent place to get special electronics
I recommend searching for a shower clock radio since one for the shower should be waterproof enough for all purposes in the bathroom
The reviews at Amazon were mostly 5 stars for the Sangean PR-D15. The built in NiCad charging system is a winner because there are many times you cannot get access to AC.
I felt your pain. Years ago, I wanted the same thing, but it never happened.
But it would be cool if local terrestrial content could be aggregated over the digital spectrum without the headache of licensing.
Thanks I did not actually go to website, my original comment was going to be a joke.
If you are seriously getting so angry you are smashing things with a hammer, what you need is help. You don’t need a new radio.
And your wife should insist on it.
Because unless you are joking...that’s scary, dude.
I don't trust the alarm on it any more though.
