A radio receiver converts electrical energy into heat and sound energy.
The electrical energy comes from the batteries in the radio or the wall-outlet that it's
plugged into. The tiny tiny tiny bit of electrical energy from the current in the antenna
that's caused by the radio waves that hit it is used to control the real energy in the
radio, but doesn't directly add anything to it.
If you've ever used a boy-scout "crystal set" radio, and remember how soft the sound
is in the earphones, that's how much energy is actually drawn from the radio waves.

The energy transfers lost in the radio are sound and heat, i think the other transfers going into the radio is heat and kinetic energy. x
The radio antenna converts electromagnetic radiation to electrical energy
electrical/chemical to sounds(useful energy) and heat(wasted energy)
For radio broadcasting, sound waves are converted to electrical waves that are further transmitted. This transformation is done by a device called a transducer, which converts physical parameters into an electrical form (signals).
Electrical energy is used to vibrate a diaphragm. The mechanical energy so produced vibrates the air molecules in contact with the diaphragm and these vibrations are then propagated as sound.
A radio receiver transforms electrical energy to acoustic energy
