The original cast of characters consisted of students George S. Goodwin III, Tanya Panda, Morgan Leigh, Kevin Calvin and Ethan St. John. In 1999, Kevin and Ethan were [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|replaced by]] Blair Resnicky and Roger Richards, who remained for the remainder of the show. The students were joined by supervisor Ms. Atoll and incompetent vice principal Mr. Noseworthy, and occasionally joined by Morgan's annoying younger sister, Sarah.

* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: [[Zig Zagged Trope|Zig Zagged]] in the episode where Blair had a female bully. While a lot of her bullying was played for laughs, the other members of Radio Active were genuinely horrified and supportive of Blair.▼
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Sarah, to Morgan.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Morgan and Kevin. To a lesser extent, later, Morgan and Blair.
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I remember when I was your age..." by Mr. Noseworthy.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: George Goodwin.
▲* [[
* [[Earpiece Conversation]]: There's an episode wherein Kevin is being coached through an oral exam by a hidden microphone with Morgan on the other end.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: In-universe. The school hosting the [[Struggling Broadcaster]] leaves the broadcast open to incessant meddling by the school administration.
* [[Hey,
* [[High School]]: Obviously.
* [[High School Dance]]: At least twice. Neither dance is actually shown, but the preparation of each of the main characters is.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
** The later episode was focused on how everything was going wrong in the planning (Morgan has a huge zit, Tanya can't decide how to do her hair, and so on), until Roger saves the day at the last minute that the new theme is "everyone has flaws".
* [[I Am Spartacus]]: In one episode, a mysterious "DJ X" has been broadcasting messages that Ms. Atoll doesn't approve of, using voice distortion to conceal their identity. When Ms. Atoll finally simply gathers all the crew together and insists they tell her who DJ X is, or face punishment, they all, one by one, claim to be DJ X... except Roger, who is punished for it.
* [[Is This Thing Still On?]]: One episode involves Morgan accidentally playing herself singing along on the radio, and becoming a hit. As a result, each of the others makes an attempt to get some skill of theirs known by trying to fake up having done the same thing, and the student body quickly becomes sick of it.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: Kevin, and later, Blair.
* [[Literal Genie]]: Mr. Noseworthy was once hypnotized into falling in love with the first thing he saw. And then he was shown a chair.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The show ''Fries With That'' - same production company, same network ([[YTV]] ''still'' airs re-runs in pretty good timeslots), and one of the same leads. The acting and writing styles are virtually identical. To his credit though, the returning actor, who plays George in ''[[Radio Active]]'', plays a very different character (more an Ethan/Roger type).
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Kevin and Ethan were replaced by Blair and Roger, who had similar roles on the show.
* [[Two
* [[When I Was Your Age]]: Mr. Noseworthy; see [[Catch Phrase]].
* [[Yet Another Christmas Carol]]: One episode in which the students plan to use this to convince Ms. Atoll not to give them homework over the holidays. It turns out to be [[All Just a Dream]]. ([[Or Was It a Dream?]])
