Clock radios were electronic devices that acted as both clocks and radio receivers, and were also designed to turn on and off at a preset time, functioning as an alternative to an alarm clock. Doc Brown had such a radio in his garage in 1985, and a commercial for Statler Toyota was playing when the radio turned on. Marty McFly had a Panasonic clock radio in his bedroom in 1985, which was playing music while he slept in the early hours of October 26. After Marty's return from 1955 to an altered present, he had the same type of radio, which was playing the song "Back in Time" when it activated at 10:28 a.m.

-'''Clock radios''' were electronic devices that acted as both [[clock]]s and [[radio]] receivers. When a set time was reached on the clock, the radio would activate. The timing of such events would usually occur with the start of a radio show or a station's music playlist. The clock itself rolled over each minute with a plate that had a number printed on both sides, and made a clicking sound at each minute.

-When [[Marty McFly]] woke up from [[Emmett Brown]]'s phone call, it was 12:28 a.m. on his clock radio. When he woke up the next morning (after a week had passed), "[[Back in Time]]" played, and the clock read 10:28 a.m.
