* ''[[Down Periscope]]'' has Nitro, a skilled but very [[Cloudcuckoolander|eccentric]] electrician who manages to coerce the [[What a Piece of Junk!|aging ship's]] radio equipment to work via various short-circuits (including several passing through [[Amusing Injuries|his own body]]).
* ''[[Fantastic Voyage (Film)|Fantastic Voyage]]'' has Charles Grant, a rare example of where the Communications Officer is also [[The Hero]].
* Parodied in ''[[Galaxy Quest (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]'' with Lt. Tawny Madison, Gwen's character from the [[Show Within the Show]]. All she did was relay orders to and from the computer.

* ''[[Babylon 5]]'': On the station itself, this job would typically fall to Lieutenant Corwin (in the first season, it alternated between him and an un-named [[Bridge Bunny]].) If Sheridan or Sinclair was in Command and Control, this job would instead go to [[The Lancer|Commander Ivanova.]] When traveling out and about aboard one ship or another, this job would fall to whichever character was serving as [[The Lancer]] for that mission (Lennier or Marcus, usually).
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' originally had Commander Adama's daughter Athena in this role in the original series. In [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|the reboot]], the job was performed by Corporal (later Lieutenant) Dualla, as well as her replacement, Hoshi.
* In ''[[M*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]]'', Radar was usually called up on to operate the communications equipment
* ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]''
