Radio.
It might not actually be wired to anything though.

Yes , really ...... good quality radios & hi-fi type receivers will give much better sound when plugged into a proper fm aerial.

By plugging into an external aerial you'll also possibly be able to receive stations you cannot normally pick up. I have however seen the wall sockets which are only wired to the tv aerial, therefore giving no reception to speak of on FM.

The other big advantage is there is less chance of interference (when moving around by the radio or from computers and modems etc).
