No. A car radio uses so little power that it is completely impossible for it to even run down your battery a little bit. Using the air-con however, will wear out the battery and increase your fuel consumption.
I beg to differ with the above answer. Of course a radio will run down your battery if it is left on. Now if you are referring to the clock on the radio, then that uses very little power and it will take a long time for it to run the battery down. If your battery is running down overnight and the radio is not on playing music, look for some light somewhere that is on. Trunk, under-hood, curtorsey, glove box, dome, etc. It can also be a relay that is stuck. Lastly the battery itself can have a dead cell which will run the battery down overnight. To find out disconnect the negative battery cable overnight. If the battery is dead in the morning, replace it as it has a dead cell.

What should you do if your car factory car stereo is draining your car battery?
While the car is running the alternator should be recharging the battery faster than stereo can drain it. I suspect you either have a problem with the alternator or its time to get your battery replaced. Until you get it fixed, if you don't turn on the radio, it wont drain your battery :) If it is a high power model, it needs to be wired directly to the battery.
